Need to factor in expense of the trade.

Profit(loss) = (selling price-buying price-expenses)Also factor in any annual/monthly membership fees

Profit = [Selling price - buying price] x [qty of Currency]For a $10,000 trade, 0.0001 = $1For a $100,000 trade, 0.0001 = $10So if you had bought $10,000 worth of Eur/USD @ 1.4600 and sell at 1.4700 : you would have made $100.If you had bought $100,000 worth , you would have made $1,000Hope this helps : this video may make it clearer.http://www.geocities.com/lcming/ForexForex5http://www.geocities.com/lcming/Forexbooks
