Basket Profit & Loss Calculator
Combine one to five entered forex position scenarios into account-currency gross price-movement P&L, then subtract only the nonnegative costs you enter. The page does not read a broker account or fetch live prices.
Enter position scenarios
Every position is valued independently before account-currency totals are combined.
All costs and aggregate outputs use this currency.

How basket P&L is calculated
Each position first calculates its direction-aware price movement in the quote currency. That amount is converted into the selected account currency, then the nonnegative account-currency cost entered for the row is subtracted.
Sell gross P&L = (Open price - Valuation price) x Base units
Basket result = Sum(Account-currency gross P&L - Entered account-currency cost)
Pips and quote-currency P&L are not aggregated across unlike instruments. Only common-currency monetary results are added.
Assumptions and limits
- Open prices, valuation prices, quantities, conversions and costs are user-entered; no live quote or account position is read.
- The result is a scenario, not realized broker P&L, equity, margin, free margin, balance or liquidation value.
- Entered costs must be zero or positive. Credits, rebates and negative costs are intentionally unsupported.
- Only entered costs are subtracted; omitted spread, commission, financing, slippage, tax or conversion charges remain excluded.
- Base-account conversion uses the entered valuation price. Third-currency accounts require account currency per one quote-currency unit.
- The tool does not recommend trades, position sizes, exits or portfolio composition.
Frequently asked questions
- It is the sum of each entered position's account-currency gross price-movement P&L after subtracting the nonnegative cost entered for that row.
- No. Every valuation price is entered manually and should be treated as a scenario price, not a broker bid, ask or executable quote.
- A pip has different monetary meaning across instruments and quantities. The tool aggregates only account-currency monetary results.
- Yes. Each row can use lot-scaled quantity or direct base units. Stored contract sizes convert lot quantities into base units.
- A manual account-currency-per-quote-currency rate is required when the account currency is neither the pair's base nor quote currency.
- No. It subtracts only the nonnegative account-currency cost entered on each row. Any omitted cost remains outside the calculation.
- No. The primary label is gross less entered costs because the page cannot know all broker charges, fills, financing, conversions or taxes.
- Their entered monetary P&L scenarios can offset in the sum, but the page does not apply broker netting, hedging, margin or close-out rules.
