See the estimate.
The USD calculation uses instrument-specific values. Local-currency conversion uses only the exchange rate you enter.
How the estimate is calculated
- Buy: closing price minus opening price.
- Sell: opening price minus closing price.
- Divide by the reference movement, then multiply by the USD value per lot and your lot size.
- For the local estimate, multiply the USD result by the exchange rate you entered.
Gross USD result = direction-adjusted price difference ÷ reference movement × USD value per lot × lots
A gross value, before trading costs.
The examples and calculator exclude commissions, swaps, financing charges and other costs. Use actual execution prices for a completed trade; execution differences can affect the result.
