How do I calculate Profit and Loss?

Your Profit and Loss are automatically calculated in your MT4/MT5 platform or using our Profit / Loss Calculator.

To manually calculate your Profit or Loss, you can use the following formula:

Long position = (Number of Lots * Notional Value of Lot) * (Close Price – Open price) * Account Currency Exchange Rate (Only if the account currency is different from the denominated currency of the product)

Short position= (Units * Price of product) / Leverage Factor] *Account currency exchange rate

Use the following information as an example:

In this case the AUDCHF rate: is 0.6327

Calculations:

(3.5 * 100,000 USD)*(0.96543 CHF per USD-0.95666 CHF per USD) = 3069.5 CHF

Prices at the time of calculation

Converting to account currency:

3069.5 CHF / 0.63276 CHF per AUD = 4850 AUD
