In this tutorial, you'll learn how to calculate the P&L and the cost of a trade based on the table of assets and spreads.
The table of assets and spreads can be found in the 'Execution conditions' section of the Darwinex website.
The columns you'll need to check out for this calculation are the following:
Pip value
Swap long
Swap short, and
Commission.
Additionally, you'll need to know the number of contracts you are trading. The table indicates both the standard contract size ...
and the minimum tradeable size.
Now let's see how to calculate the trade's P&L based on pip value.
You can calculate the P&L of a trade by multiplying the pips gained or lost by the pip value and ...
the number of contracts.
A pip is the fourth decimal of the price of a currency pair with the exception of currency pairs ending ...
with JPY in which case the pip corresponds to the second decimal.
The value of a pip is determined by the second member of the currency pair, known as the counter or ...
quote currency, and has a fixed value in that currency.
For example, every currency pair that ends in USD (GBP/USD, AUD/USD, etc.) has a fixed value of $10 per pip ...
per standard lot. However, a currency pair that ends in GBP (such as EUR/GBP) has a fixed value of 10 ...
British pounds per pip per standard lot, and a currency pair that ends in CHF (such as USD/CHF) has a ...
constant value of 10 Swiss francs.
If you go long 1 standard lot in the AUDUSD - you buy 100.000 AUD- at 0.74497 and sell it ...
at 0.74989 (49.2 pips gained), the calculation would go as follows: pips gained/lost * pip value * number of contracts ...
= 49.2 * 10 * 1 = 492 USD
If, instead of 1 standard lot, you open a 0.01 lot , AKA a microlot, in the AUDUSD at exactly ...
the same price as the above mentioned example, which equals to buying 1000 AUD, the pips gained would have been ...
the same, 49.2 pips.
However, the number of the contract is 100 times smaller than in the case of 1 standard lot. Therefore, the ...
calculation would go as follows: 49.2 * 10 * 0.01 = 4.92 USD
When you do your calculation this way, the result you'll get will be the P&L in the quote currency (USD in the case of AUDUSD).
Another way of calculating P&L of a trade is based on price according to the formula
(close price - open price) / open price * nominal value of the trade.
In the second example mentioned with a microlot, the result would be: (0.74989 - 0.74497) / 0.74497 * 1000 AUD = 6.60 AUD
If you take this route, the P&L will be denominated on the base currency (AUD in the case of AUDUSD) ...
and not on the quote currency.
For displaying P&L of a trade in the MT4 terminal you may choose between points (1 pip = 10 points), ...
term currency (same as quote currency or the second part of the currency pair) or deposit currency.
'Profit' in MT4 does not include the cost of a trade. Only the amount that appears in bold in the ...
last row of of the 'Profit' column includes cost (commission and swap).
Now let's talk about the cost of a trade.
The cost of a trade consist of commission + swap.
As to commission, for currency pairs we charge 0.0025% of nominal value traded or a competitive 0.005% round trip.
The whole round trip commission gets charged at the opening of the trade and no additional commission is charged afterwards.
Calculating the commission is as easy as to multiply the number of contracts traded by the commission indicated in the ...
table of assets and spreads.
In the previous example using a microlot (0.01 lot), it´d go as follows: 0.01 * 5 AUD = 0.05 AUD.
If the AUD is not the base currency of your account, Darwinex would convert AUD into your base currency -EUR ...
in our example- at the current rate. Currently 0.05 AUD equals to 0.03 EUR as you can see on the screen.
Commission is always displayed in the deposit currency in the MT4 terminal.
As to swap, when holding on to positions for longer than a day, investors borrow a currency (on which interest ...
is payable) to invest in another (on which they earn interest). Net interest is settled on a daily basis at ...
21:00 UTC and it shows the difference between interest paid and earned. Swap settlement is positive whenever interest earned on ...
the invested currency exceeds interest on the borrowed currency - the investor gets paid. Swap is a cost whenever the ...
opposite is true. Darwinex passes its inter-bank funding costs on to customers without mark-up.
For calculating the swap to be charged for a trade in case of the trade remaining open upon daily market ...
rollover (21:00 UTC), use the following formula: swap as indicated in the table of assets and spreads * number of contracts.
The swap displayed in the MT4 terminal is the swap accumulated over the days the trade was open upon daily ...
market rollover but the rate charged each day is different. The swap for the current day can be checked out ...
in the the table of assets and spreads and is updated for the current day usually during the afternoon. Swap ...
is always displayed in the deposit currency in the MT4 terminal.
Swaps are charged daily at 21:00 UTC, in triple size on Fridays.
Happy investing and remember that Darwinex is an exchange, not an investment advisor.
