Formula Used

The calculator uses these formulas to determine your forex account performance:

Converted Balance

Converted Balance = Initial Balance × Exchange Rate

Profit/Loss Amount

Profit/Loss Amount = (Converted Balance - Initial Balance) - Trading Fees

Profit/Loss Percentage

Profit/Loss Percentage = (Profit/Loss Amount / Initial Balance) × 100

All calculations are performed in real-time as you enter values.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a sample forex trade:

  • Initial balance: $1,000 USD
  • Exchange rate: 0.85 EUR/USD
  • Trading fees: $10 USD

Step 1: Convert Balance

Converted Balance = $1,000 × 0.85 = €850

Step 2: Calculate Profit/Loss

Profit/Loss Amount = (€850 - $1,000) - $10 = -$160

Step 3: Calculate Percentage

Profit/Loss Percentage = (-$160 / $1,000) × 100 = -16%

This means you lost 16% of your initial investment after accounting for fees.

Interpreting Results

Your forex account results show several key metrics:

  • Converted Balance: Your account balance after currency conversion
  • Profit/Loss Amount: The absolute value of your gain or loss
  • Profit/Loss Percentage: Your gain or loss relative to your initial investment

Positive percentages indicate profit, while negative percentages indicate loss. Always consider trading fees when evaluating performance.

Use these results to track your trading performance over time and make informed decisions about your forex strategy.
