Investment

In this calculator, Investment refers to the amount of your own funds allocated as margin to open a trading position. Based on the selected leverage, the same investment amount can result in different position sizes (lots). Higher leverage allows a larger position size to be opened with the same investment amount, while lower leverage results in a smaller position size.

How do I estimate my Forex trade outcome step by step?
  1. Select your account type to apply the correct fees.
  2. Choose a Forex instrument.
  3. Set your leverage and investment amount.
  4. Select Buy or Sell.
  5. Define the date range to set the entry and exit price reference.
  6. Read the estimated result: positive means an estimated gain, negative means an estimated loss under those conditions.

Use the result as a planning reference, not as a forecast of actual performance.

What is margin in CFD trading?

Margin is the portion of your account balance held as collateral while a leveraged position is open. It is not a fee. The required amount is:

Margin = (Lots × Contract Size × Entry Price) ÷ Leverage

If your equity falls below the required margin level, open positions may be subject to a margin call or automatic close-out. Monitor your free margin before and during any open trade.

What is a lot in CFD trading?

A lot is the standardised unit of trade volume. The contract size per lot varies by instrument - instruments in the Forex category carry a different contract size than other instrument types. Common lot sizes:

  • Standard lot - the base contract unit for the instrument.
  • Mini lot - 0.1 of a standard lot.
  • Micro lot - 0.01 of a standard lot.

The exact contract size for each Forex instrument is listed on the Contract Specifications page.

What formula does the Forex Trading Profit and Loss Calculator use?

Profit / Loss

(Close Price − Entry Price) × Lots × Contract Size

Positive for a Buy when price rises; reversed for a Sell. A currency conversion is applied where the instrument's quote currency is not USD.

Commission

Lots × Contract Size × Entry Price × 2 × (Commission Rate ÷ 1,000,000)

The factor of 2 covers both the opening and closing leg. Pro accounts carry Max leverage 1:2000; Prime and ECN have fixed rates per million traded.

Margin

(Lots × Contract Size × Entry Price) ÷ Leverage

The collateral reserved while the position is open.

All results are estimates for illustrative purposes only. Actual outcomes may differ due to market conditions, slippage, and swap charges not included in this calculation.
