Profit/Loss Calculation
 

Profit Calculation against US Dollars:

 
 
(Sell Price - Buy Price) X Contract Value X No. of contracts Less (+/-) Interest = Profit/Loss

 
 
Interest Calculation:
 
 
(Opening Price X Contract Value) X (+/-) Interest rate / 360 X No. of day X No. of Contracts = Interest earned / Interest paid

 
 


EXAMPLES:

Spot Silver
Sell 3 contracts of Spot Silver and settle on the same day.

 
 
 
Sell Price: US $16.50 per troy oz.
Buy Price: US $16.20 per troy oz.
Contract Value: 5,000 troy oz
Calculation of Profit and Loss: (16.50 - 16.20) X 5,000 X 3 = US $4,500 (Profit)
 
 
 

Spot Gold
Sell 3 contracts of Spot Gold and leave the position open for 1 month. (For this example, assume there is no change in Spot Gold price and interest is earned.)

 
 
 
Opening Price: US $890 per troy oz.
Interest Rate + 4.0% per annum
Contract Value: 100 oz
Interest Earned: Interest Earned: (US $890 X 100) X 4.0% / 360 X 30 X 3 = US $890 (Profit)
