Operations > Trade Performance > Profit and Loss Calculation Modes

Trade Performance statistics are based on core PnL calculations, which differ for each selected Display Units (currency, percent, points, pips or ticks) calculation mode. Below is a list of the formulas used for each calculation mode.

Calculation Modes

Currency	Rate of Exit * Profit in Points * Lot Size of Exit * Point Value of Exit
Percent	(Profit in Points * Lot Size of Entry) / (Quantity * Higher of .01 or Absolute Value of Entry Price)
Points	(1 for Long position, or -1 for short position) * Quantity * (Exit Price - Entry Price - Entry Commission - Exit Commission) / (Exit Rate * Point Value) / Lot Size
Pips	Forex Instruments: Profit in Ticks * Tick Size Other Instruments: Profit in Ticks
Ticks	Profit in Points / Tick Size

Note:

•Since execution quantity is factored into the PnL calculation in Points, and since other calculations rely on Profit in Points, each calculation mode takes execution quantity into account by extension.

• It is possible to have trades which are technically profitable in percent, but are not profitable based on their point value (or vice versa)

Exit	The last Exit execution
Rate	The currency conversation rate used back to the account demonstration (E.g., A rate of 1 means no conversion took place)
