UpStocks Profit & Loss Calculator
How It Works
This tool calculates potential profits or losses before you trade. Enter your position details to see estimated results including swap fees.
Formula: (Exit Price - Entry Price) × Position Size × Pip Value ± Swap Fees
Key Concepts:
- Forex: 1 standard lot = 100,000 units ($10/pip)
- Stocks: Position size = number of shares
- Crypto: 1 lot = 1 coin/contract (value varies)
- Swap Fees: Overnight financing costs
Example: Buying 1 lot EUR/USD at 1.0850 and selling at 1.0900 = 50 pips × $10 = $500 profit
