  • Anyone can explain please: Egual pips = loose is higher than gain!

    Ok guys, maybe i am ******, but i do not understand why this works that way.
    Why whn i make X pips gain, then i do make less profit that when i make X pips profit ( less spreade in both case)

    Just a quick example:
    ==============


    sold ad: 37156
    closed ad: 37092

    = 6,4 pips

    - 1.5 pips spreade

    = 4.9 pips



    profit: 0.47

    -------------------------


    buy ad: 37223
    closed ad: 37259

    = 3,6 pips

    +1.5 spread

    = 5.1


    loose: 1.57

    ---------------------------

    its just a quick example but it's always more loose for equal pips that win.
    Maybe i miss something here...




















    .................or is there something MT4 brokers use on backside?

    Are these your calculations or are they from the mt4 statement ?

    You have correctly taken 1.5 pips spread off the short trade, and incorrectly added the spread to your profit on the buy trade, your buy trade profit should only be +2.1

    The only thing that comes to my mind is slippage, you didn't get the price you opened / closed each trade.

    Maybe you should post a screenshot of the trading statement, that should help to explain it further.
