SimulationA calculation on the figures you entered. The prices are hypothetical; this is not a record or a forecast of any trade. Educational information, not investment advice or a recommendation to trade.

In plain language

The outcome is the price difference multiplied by the size.

Every profit and loss calculation reduces to the same three things: how far the price travelled between entry and exit, how many units the position represented, and which way round you were. A buy gains when the exit is above the entry; a sell gains when it is below.

The result is first expressed in the quote currency and then converted to the currency of the account. The spread is not a separate deduction here because it is already inside the two prices: a buy opens at the ask and closes at the bid.
