    How to use it

    1. Choose buy or sell.
    2. Enter the entry and exit prices.
    3. Enter the lot size.
    4. Read the profit or loss in dollars and the move in pips.

    The formula

    Buy: P/L = (exit − entry) × 100 × lots

    Sell: P/L = (entry − exit) × 100 × lots

    Pips = |exit − entry| ÷ $0.10

    Worked example

    Buy 0.50 lots at 4,150.00 and sell at 4,165.00: a $15 move, or 150 pips.

    $15 × 100 × 0.50 = $750 profit.

    The same move against a short of the same size is a $750 loss.
