Frequently Asked Questions
P&L = (Exit Price - Entry Price) × Pip Value × Lot Size. For a buy trade, you profit when exit > entry. For a sell trade, you profit when entry > exit. Our calculator handles all conversions automatically.
Unrealized (floating) P&L is the current profit/loss on open positions. Realized P&L is locked in when you close a trade. Only realized P&L affects your account balance directly.
Leverage amplifies both profits AND losses. With 1:100 leverage, a 1% price move equals 100% of your margin. This is why position sizing and stop losses are crucial for risk management.
Small differences may occur due to spread, commissions, swap fees, and slight rate variations. This calculator shows the raw trading P&L without broker-specific fees.
