Question 1

How is FX profit/loss calculated?

Accepted Answer

Profit = price difference × lots × 10,000 units. For long positions, the difference is closing rate minus opening rate; for short, it's opening minus closing.

Question 2

How much is 1 lot?

Accepted Answer

In Japanese FX, 1 lot = 10,000 units. For USD/JPY, 1 lot requires about ¥60,000 in margin at 25× leverage.

Question 3

What's the difference between investment mode and lot mode?

Accepted Answer

Investment mode auto-calculates lot size from your capital and leverage. Lot mode lets you specify lot size directly.

Question 4

What does 25× leverage mean?

Accepted Answer

It's the legal maximum for Japanese FX brokers. You can trade 25× your margin, but losses are also magnified 25×.
