Profit & Loss Calculator FAQ
1How do you calculate forex profit and loss?
P&L = (Exit price - Entry price) / Pip size × Pip value × Lots. For a buy on EUR/USD: entry 1.0850, exit 1.0890 = 40 pips × $10/pip = $400 profit at 1 lot.
2How do I calculate P&L for a sell trade?
For sell trades, the formula inverts: P&L = (Entry price - Exit price) / Pip size × Pip value × Lots. You profit when the price drops below your entry.
3Does spread affect my P&L?
Yes. When you open a buy, you enter at the ask price and exit at the bid. The spread is an immediate cost — you start every trade slightly in the red.
