How the gain and loss calculator works
Copy link to sectionThe gain and loss calculator determines the gains or losses of your trade(s). It can be shown in either the currency you’re trading with or as a percentage.
Why should I use it?
Copy link to sectionBecause it will help you better understand what the size of a gain or loss means in terms of your portfolio’s future health. For instance, let’s say you suffer a 20% loss on a trade. To get back to square one, you need to make more than 20%; you actually need to land a 25% gain just to return to zero. Suffer a 33% loss and you need a huge 50% gain just to get back to break even. Being honest and accountable with your trades (especially when you lose money) will help you develop healthy habits to manage your risk, including cutting losses short whenever possible.
What is a gain or a loss?
Copy link to sectionAs an investor, a gain refers to the amount (expressed in either your preferred trading currency or as a percentage) you made on a trade, while a loss refers to the amount you gave up on a trade. Though there are all kinds of ways to invest, many traders believe that cutting your losses short and letting your winners run is the best way to make big profits in the long run.
