The maths
Pips = (exit - entry) / pip size P&L (quote) = (exit - entry) x contract size x lots P&L (USD) = P&L (quote) x quote-to-USD rate
A standard lot is 100,000 units of the base currency, 100 ounces for gold and 5,000 ounces for silver. One pip is 0.0001, or 0.01 on yen pairs and on metals.
Worked example
One standard lot of EUR/USD bought at 1.0850 and closed at 1.0900 is 50 pips. At 100,000 units that is 500 USD.
How is profit calculated on a forex trade?
Take the price difference, multiply it by the contract size and by your number of lots. That gives the result in the quote currency, which is then converted to your account currency at the current rate.
What is one pip worth on a standard lot?
On any pair quoted in USD it is 10 USD. On gold it is 1 USD, because a lot is 100 ounces and a pip is 0.01. On USD/JPY it depends on the rate, since the pip is earned in yen.
Why is my broker's figure slightly different?
Commission, swap and the spread you were actually filled at. This calculator prices the move itself and nothing else.
