Trade Summary

How it works

Pips = (Exit Price - Entry Price) / Pip Size × Trade Size × 10,000. Profit/Loss = Pips × Pip Value per Lot × Trade Size + Swap. ROI = (Profit / (Trade Size × Lot Value)) × 100. Pip size is 0.0001 for most pairs and 0.01 for JPY pairs. A standard lot is 100,000 units of the base currency.

Inputs explained

  • Trade Size (lots): The volume of your trade. Standard lot = 1.0 (100,000 units), mini lot = 0.1 (10,000 units), micro lot = 0.01 (1,000 units).
  • Account Currency: The currency in which your trading account is denominated (affects profit/loss conversion).
  • Currency Pair: The forex pair you're trading (e.g., EUR/USD, GBP/USD).
  • Entry Price: The price at which you opened the trade.
  • Exit Price: The price at which you closed (or plan to close) the trade.
  • Swap: Overnight financing charges or credits for holding positions past the daily rollover time (can be positive or negative).

Example

Trade Size = 0.1 lot, Pair = EUR/USD, Entry = 1.10000, Exit = 1.10500, Swap = $0. Pips Gained = 50 pips. Profit ≈ $50 (assuming $10 per pip per lot for USD account). ROI ≈ 5%.

Tips & notes

  • A standard lot is 100,000 units of the base currency; mini lot is 10,000; micro lot is 1,000.
  • Pip value depends on the quote currency and lot size. For most USD-quoted pairs, it's $10 per standard lot per pip.
  • Include swap fees for overnight positions. Swap can be positive (you receive) or negative (you pay).
  • This calculator assumes you're going long (buy). For short positions, profit/loss logic is reversed.
  • Actual profit depends on spreads, slippage, and broker-specific fees not included in this estimate.
  • Leverage amplifies both profits and losses. Manage risk carefully and use stop-loss orders.
