1. What is Forex Profit Calculation?

The Forex Profit Calculator helps traders estimate potential profits from currency trades, taking into account pips gained, lot size, pip value, and leverage used in the trade.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Forex profit formula:

Where:

• \( Pips \) — Number of pips gained in the trade
• \( Lot\ Size \) — Size of the trade in standard lots
• \( Pip\ Value \) — Value of one pip in your account currency
• \( Leverage \) — Leverage ratio used in the trade

Explanation: The formula multiplies the movement in pips by the trade size and pip value, then scales it by the leverage used.

3. Importance of Leverage in Forex

Details: Leverage allows traders to control larger positions with a smaller amount of capital, amplifying both potential profits and losses.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all values as positive numbers. For losses, the result will be negative. Ensure pip value matches your account currency.
