How it works

Understanding the numbers

How is P/L calculated?

P/L = direction × (exit − entry) × units × the quote-to-account rate. Direction is +1 for a long and −1 for a short, so a short profits when the exit is below the entry.

Pips versus money

Pips measure distance and are comparable across trades on the same instrument; money is what actually hits the account and depends on the lot size. A 100-pip winner at 0.01 lots and a 5-pip winner at 2 lots are not the same trade.

What is P/L % measured against?

Against the position's value at entry — units × entry price — not against the account. It answers 'how far did this instrument move in my favour', not 'what did this do to my account'.

What this deliberately leaves out

Spread, commission, swap and slippage. Real fills land inside the spread and overnight positions pay or earn financing, so a live result is always somewhat worse than the clean arithmetic here.
