How it works

The formula behindthe numbers.

Profit is the price difference times the position size, in the quote currency, converted to dollars and less commission.

Gross = (exit − entry) × lots × contract size, reversed for a short. Where the US dollar is the quote currency - EUR/USD, gold - that is already dollars. Where it is the base currency - USD/JPY, USD/CAD - divide by the exit price. Net = gross − (lots × round-turn commission).

Worked example. Long 1 lot of EUR/USD from 1.08000 to 1.08500 is 50 pips: 0.005 × 100,000 = $500.00 gross. Less $7.00 commission, that is $493.00, or 0.49% of a $100,000 account.

Long 1 lot of USD/JPY from 150.00 to 151.00 makes ¥100,000, which at 151.00 is $662.25. Short 0.5 lots of gold from 3,500 to 3,510 loses 10 × 100 oz × 0.5 = $500.00, and $503.50 with commission - 10.1% of the $5,000 daily loss limit on a $100,000 1 Step.

This calculator computes what a price move you choose would produce at a size you choose. It does not estimate how likely that move is, and it is not a forecast of what anyone will make. On a GFN account the result is virtual profit or loss on a simulated account.

The rules behind the maths

Where this meetsa GFN account.

Commission is $3.50 per side, $7 per lot round turn on every GFN programme, charged on the simulated account, and it counts toward the daily loss limit - so the net figure is the one that matters.

Common questions

Profit and loss,answered.

Take the price difference between entry and exit, multiply by the lot size and the contract size (100,000 units for a standard forex lot), and flip the sign for a short. If the US dollar is the quote currency the result is already in dollars; if it is the base currency, divide by the exit price.

Yes. It defaults to GFN's published commission - $3.50 per side, $7 per lot round turn - and you can change it. Spread and slippage are already in the prices you enter, so they are not deducted a second time.

One lot of XAU/USD is 100 troy ounces, so every $1.00 move in the gold price is $100 per lot. A $10 move on 0.5 lots is $500 before commission.

No. It computes what a specific price move would produce at a specific size. Whether the market makes that move is the part no calculator knows. On a GFN account the result is virtual profit on a simulated account.
