Profit/Loss Calculator
The Profit/Loss Value Calculator is a tool that can be used to calculate the profit or loss of a potential trade.
This mechanism also allows traders to test different trading scenarios, enabling them to project the amount of profit or loss that a potential trade may be worth.

The Equation for
Euro/USD,
GBP/USD, and
AUD/USD is as follows :
Multiply the Unit Size by the decimal amount in which the currency is quoted:
For EUR/USD, calculate 100,000 EUR (1 Unit) x .0001 = $10 per pip
For GBP/USD, calculate 100,000 GBP (1 Unit) x .0001 = $10 per pip
For AUD/USD, calculate 100,000 AUD (1 Unit) x .0001 = $10 per pip
The Equation for USD/JPY, USD/CHF, and USD/CAD is as follows:
1. Value of the postion at the open price:
Buy 1 unit of USD/JPY at 111.00
100,000 USD (1 Unit) x 111.00 = 11100000 Yen
2. Value of the position at the close price:
Sell 1 unit of USD/JPY at 111.05
100,000 USD (1 Unit) x 111.05 = 11105000 Yen
3. P/L in Yen:
11105000 - 11100000 = 5000 Yen
4. The DealStation™ platform will convert the P/L into USD, using the current USD/JPY rate:
5000/111.05 = $45.02
5. $ P/L Divided By Pip Differential Equals Per Pip Value:
Z$ / 5 Pips = Per Pip Value (45.02 / 5 = $9)
The P/L calculation for EUR/GBP is as follows:
If a trader Buys 1 unit of EUR/GBP at 0.6747 and closes the position at 0.6757, the P/L will be calculated as follows:
Value of the position at the opening price of 0.6747 = 100,000 x 0.6747 = 67,470 GBP
Value of the position at the closing price of 0.6757 = 100,000 x 0.6757 = 67,570 GBP
P/L in GBP = 67,570 - 67,470 = 100 GBP
The DealStation™ platform will convert your P/L into USD, using the GBP/USD rate at that time:
100 GBP * 1.8331 = $183.31
