How do I calculate my transaction's profit or loss?

To calculate your profit or loss for a Long trade, please use the following formula:

PL = S * M * (Ec / E0 – 1) – C , where:

PL is your profit or loss

S is your investment amount

M is the multiplier value used

Ec is the close price

Eо is the open price

C is commission charged for your transaction

To calculate your profit or loss for a Short trade, please use the following formula:

PL = S * M * ( 1- Ec / E0) – C

If your current loss on a transaction reaches 100% (or 80% for stocks) of your investment amount, your transaction is subject to immediate closure. This is to ensure that your maximum risk is limited to your investment amount, i.e., your transaction will not affect your funds not invested in the position.

Let's assume you open a long Dow Jones trade worth €1,000 with a multiplier of 10 at 15,345 and close it at 15,515. The transaction fee is €1.70, and the rollover fee is -€3.80.

What we get is 1,000 * 10 * (15,515/15,345 – 1) – 1.70 – 3.80 = 105.28.

Your transaction profit is €105.28.

Now let's assume we open an identical trade, but a short one:

1,000 * 10 * (1 – 15,515 / 15,345) – 1.70 – 0.20 = -112.68

Here, your loss would be €112.68.
