What is a Forex Profit Calculator

A Forex Profit Calculator is useful to simulate, just by inputting the required values, how much money and pips a trading position represents, quantitatively, if the position is closed in profit or loss. It works by simulating a trading position opened at a specific value and closed also at a specific value, and what will be the outcome in monetary terms and how many pips of gain or loss.

It can also be used to quickly see in terms of money and pips how much will be taken from an account's equity if, on purpose, the trader changes the trade direction chosen initially and therefore simulating a stop loss hit. 

How to Use the Forex Profit Calculator

Currency pair: In this field traders can select from several Major and Minor Forex pairs or from the most popular cryptocurrencies versus the USD (BTC/USD, ETH/USD, LTCUSD, XLM/USD and XRP/USD) or Gold/Silver versus the USD. Let's choose, for example, the AUD/USD.

Deposit currency: This field is pretty straight forward, traders select their trading account deposit currency in order to get the calculations already converted to the trader's account base currency. We choose the AUD as the deposit currency, for our example.

Buy or sell: Simply input the trade direction, either long or short. For this example, we will use simulate a long trade, therefore we select the buy direction.

Lots (trade size): One standard lot of a Forex pair is 100,000 units per 1 lot, but units per 1 lot vary for the non-forex pairs. In this field there's the option of using lots or units for the calculations. For this example, we will input a trading size of a 0.10 mini lot.

Open price: In this field traders just need to input the opening price for the trade. For our example, we will type a simulating AUD/USD opening price of 0.75345.

Close price: The last field of the calculator, here traders just need to input the closing price for the trade. On our example we will type a simulating AUD/USD closing price of 0.75855.

Finally, we hit the "Calculate" button.

The results: The Profit Calculator will calculate the profit in money (with the account base currency previously selected) and also the profit in the total amount of pips gained (or lost).

In our example, opening a long trade of 0.10 AUD/USD at 0.75345 with a closing price of 0.75855 will result in a profit of AUD 67.66, with a total of 51 pips of profit.
