How it’s worked out
Price move
times trade size.
For a buy, take the close price minus the open price. For a sell, the open minus the close. Multiply by the units you traded.
The price result is first expressed in the pair’s quote currency. Account-currency conversion requires a rate; the local estimate uses hypothetical inputs rather than a live feed.

Gross result
The result shown is in USD, the quote currency, so a USD account needs no currency conversion.
100 × $10
Check: pips × pip value
100 pips at $10 a pip gives the same result.
