Understanding Profit Calculations

Percentage Gain: This shows the return on your entry price. A 10% gain means your position increased by 10% from your entry point.

Long vs Short: Long positions profit when price increases. Short positions profit when price decreases. Choose the direction based on your market outlook.

ROI (Return on Investment): This is the profit/loss as a percentage of your total investment. It's identical to percentage gain in simple trades.

Position Sizing: Larger position sizes amplify both gains and losses. Always consider your risk tolerance when determining position size.

Real Trading Considerations: This calculator shows theoretical profit/loss. Real trading involves commissions, spreads, slippage, and other costs that can impact your results.
