Profit and Loss Calculation

The profit calculation type varies for each trading symbol. The final profit amount is calculated in two stages:

  • The primary calculation for the trading symbol.

  • Converting the profit currency to the deposit currency.

Primary Calculation​

The profit for a buy trade of a trading symbol (relative to the executed action) is calculated using the following formula:

((Closing Price - Opening Price) * Contract Size * Trade Volume in Lots)

Let’s consider a scenario where we close a 1 lot EURUSD buy position. The opening price is 1.2000, and the closing price is 1.2050, with a contract size of 100,000. Substituting the values into the formula:

（(1.2050 ― 1.2000) * 100,000 * 1 = 500 USD

As a result, we obtain the profit amount expressed in the trading symbol's profit currency.

Currency Conversion​

If the profit currency differs from the account's deposit currency, the conversion stage of the calculated profit will occur.

For example, if we close a 1 lot EURJPY buy position, the opening price is 162.500, and the closing price is 167.500, with a contract size of 100,000, resulting in a profit of 50,000 JPY.

To convert this to the account's base currency (assumed to be USD), we use the exchange rate for EURJPY (0.0065):

 50000*0.0065 (EURJPY rate) = 325 USD
