How to Calculate Forex Profit & Loss

The profit or loss of a forex trade is calculated using the simple formula:

P&L = (Exit Price − Entry Price) × Lot Size × Contract Size

For a buy (long) trade, you profit when the exit price is higher than the entry price. For a sell (short) trade, you profit when the exit price is lower.

Why Calculate P&L Before Trading?

• Know your exact risk before entering any position
• Set realistic profit targets based on pip value and lot size
• Compare risk-to-reward ratios of different trade scenarios
• Plan your trading day with clear monetary goals
