Frequently Asked Questions
How is forex profit calculated?
Profit = (Exit Price − Entry Price) × Lots × Contract Size × Pip Value. For a Buy trade on EUR/USD: if you buy 1 lot at 1.2500 and close at 1.2600, the profit = 100 pips × $10/pip = $1,000.
What is the difference between a buy and sell trade?
A Buy (Long) trade profits when price goes UP. A Sell (Short) trade profits when price goes DOWN. If you sell EUR/USD at 1.2500 and price falls to 1.2400, you profit 100 pips.
How do lot sizes affect profit?
Profit scales linearly with lot size. 1 standard lot = $10/pip for EUR/USD. 0.1 lot (mini) = $1/pip. 0.01 lot (micro) = $0.10/pip. Doubling the lot size doubles both profit and loss.
What is slippage and how does it affect profit?
Slippage is when your trade executes at a different price than requested, usually during high volatility or news events. It typically reduces your profit or increases your loss by a few pips. Always factor in spread + potential slippage when planning trades.
