Calculate potential profit or loss
Before you take a trade — calculate exactly what you can win or lose based on entry, exit and position size.
How is profit/loss calculated?
Profit or loss is calculated as: (Exit price − Entry price) × Position size. For a long position, you make money if exit is higher than entry. For a short position, you make money if exit is lower than entry.
What is a pip movement?
For most currency pairs (e.g. EUR/USD), one pip is 0.0001 — the fourth decimal. If the price moves from 1.0800 to 1.0850, that's a 50 pip movement. For Japanese yen pairs (USD/JPY) and gold (XAU/USD), one pip is 0.01 (the second decimal).
Practical example
You go long on EUR/USD at 1.0800 with 1 standard lot. Exit at 1.0850 gives a pip movement of +50 pips. With a pip value of 10 EUR, the profit is 50 × 10 = 500 EUR. If you had gone short instead, the same move would have meant a loss of 500 EUR.
Always calculate before you trade
Knowing exactly what you can win and lose before entering a trade is fundamental risk management. It helps you see whether the risk-reward ratio is worth taking — and whether the position size is reasonable.
