Pro Tip
Always calculate your potential loss before a trade. If the loss exceeds your risk tolerance, reduce position size or widen your stop loss.
Profit/Loss Formula
The profit or loss formula depends on your trade direction:
For Buy (Long) Trades:
P/L = (Exit Price - Entry Price) × Contract SizeFor Sell (Short) Trades:
P/L = (Entry Price - Exit Price) × Contract SizeExample: Buying 1 standard lot of EUR/USD at 1.0850, closing at 1.0900:
- Price Difference: 1.0900 - 1.0850 = 0.0050
- Pips: 0.0050 ÷ 0.0001 = 50 pips
- Profit: 0.0050 × 100,000 = $500
