Hey I needed help in this.
Suppose I have a deposit of $1000 and trade 0.3 volume, and have a 1: 400 leverage .
and I gain 100 pips. what will be my profit ?
Can someone show me the exact calculations ??
thanks in advance !!
This will depend on the pair you use.
With 1 Lot:
pip = (pipsize / quote currency value) * lotvalue
Let’s say you trade USDCHF standard account:
pip = (0.0001 / 1.0984) * $100,000 = $ 9.1041 (rounded to $9.10)
With your lotsize of 0.3:
pip * 0.3 = pipvalue
$ 9.10 * 0.3 = $ 2.73
Your Leverage is 1:400 so you got 4 times the pipvalue for one pip:
pipvalue * 4 = real pipvalue
$ 2.73 * 4 = $ 10.92
If you make your 100 pips you will get (Spread of 3):
(real pipvalue * 100) - (Spead * real pipvalue) = Money
($10.92 * 100) - (3 * $ 10.92) = $ 1059.24
This is WOW GRATS !
BUT … lets have a look at the other side:
Your Margin is within the above example $ 300.
Your free margin is $ 700. Some brooker will send you a margin call if you are at 50% of your free margin.
The market is now running 10 pips against you (peanuts) you will have a minus of:
$ 10.92 * 10 = $ 109.20
This $ 109.20 are more that 30 % Minus (feels not really good).
You wait … you are sure the market will go in your direction…
The market move … but the next 10 pips against you.
Now you made over 60% minus … at this time your free margin is down to $ 481.60 !!!
The next 20 pips will really hurt:
Your free margin will lowered by $ 218.40 :
$ 481.60 - $ 218.40 = $ 263.20
The margin call is REALLY not far away.
And this all happens if the market goes only 40 pips against you !
You want the market to go 100 pips in your direction … think about how easy it is to go 50 pips in the wrong direction.
Just my 2 cents 
(Sorry about my bad english)
thanks a lot man !!
great help…
