How It Works

This Toll follows the following formula:
(Closing Rate - Opening Rate) * (Closing {quote}/ {home currency}) * Units

Example:
Home Currency: USD
Currency Pair: GBP/CHF
Base: GBP
Quote: CHF
Quote/ Home Currency CHF/USD: 1.10998
Opening Rate: 1.44488
Closing Rate: 1.44498
Units: 1000

Profit = (1.44498-1.44488)*(1.10998)*1000
If you Buy GBP for Long position, this trade will give you a 0.111 USD profit

Pips are the Forex earnings. Also known as the Price Interest Point or sometimes called points.
Standard accounts in trading a pip is equal to 10 US Dollar.
Mini account in trading a pip is equal to 1 US Dollar.
Note:( The value of pip depends on the size of the account in trading.)

Lot is the standard unit used for a transaction.
Standard lot is equivalent to 100,000 units of the base currency.
-   10,000 units if it is a mini lot
-   1,000 units if it is in micro lot.
A lot is equal to 100 US Dollar and so the standard leverage for the particular lot is in the margin of 100 to 1.

So if you buy 6 micro lots you know that it is worth $6,000. In this way you will know how much money you want to invest and decide whether you are going to sell or buy Forex currency.
