How the Gross P&L Calculator works
Formula
Linear: pnl = direction × (exit - entry) × quantity × contract_size. Futures: pnl = direction × ((exit - entry) / tick_size) × tick_value × quantity. Inverse: pnl = direction × quantity × contract_size × (1/entry - 1/exit).
Example
EURUSD BUY at 1.0850, exit at 1.0900, 0.10 lots (contract_size=100000): P&L = $500
Inputs & units
