I need serious help is calculating pip values, profit/loss for currency pairs with leverage.
I have opened the demo account with $500. What I want to know is if I open
- EUR/USD , volumne : 0.05 (I believe this is the lot size in MT4)
- GBP/USD , volumne : 0.05
- EUR/GBP , volumne : 0.05
- USD/CHF , volumne : 0.05
What is the pip value, profit / loss for the above pairs and how do we calculate (formula) it? How does the leverage falls into the calculation.
I only wants to risk 3% of the $500 = $15, but don’t know how many pips that totals upto $15 for each pair to set my stop loss when trading.
I have been reading many articles about this, but so far couldn’t understand how the pip value and profit / loss calculated with leverage.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
