Exness Profit Calculator: The Same Move Both Ways (Pakistan)
Run the same trade twice: once with the price moving your way, once the same distance against, then compare the two answers. The price part is a mirror, the same size with the opposite sign. The cost part is not, because entering is paid for in one direction only. Choose an instrument, a direction and a volume, put the closing price a fixed distance on one side of the opening price, read the result, then move the closing price the same distance to the other side and read it again.

How much profit is 10 pips on 0.01 lot?
On EUR/USD, one pip on 0.01 lot is worth about $0.10, so a 10-pip move in the trade's favour is roughly $1.00 of gross profit. Crossing the measured 0.8-pip spread costs about $0.08, leaving about $0.92 before any commission or overnight swap.

What mirrors
Distance in price does not know which way it went. Move an instrument a fixed number of pips in your favour and the gross figure is a positive number of a certain size; move it the same number of pips against and the gross figure is the same size with a minus in front. The symmetry holds at any volume, because volume is a multiplier applied to both runs alike.
Anything fixed at the moment of opening behaves the same way. The money value of the position and the margin it ties up are set by the instrument, the volume and the leverage in use, not by what the price did afterwards, so both runs report them identically.
What breaks the mirror
Entering is paid for once, in one direction. The spread is crossed on the way in whatever the price later does, and on the account types that carry one the commission is settled per side per lot on the same indifferent basis. In money terms both subtract: they make the winning run smaller and the losing run larger, which is the opposite of mirroring.
The overnight line is the interesting exception, because it can carry either sign itself. It follows the direction being held rather than the outcome, so a long run and a short run over the same nights are not reflections of each other even before any cost is counted. Two runs in the same direction share that line; two runs in opposite directions do not.
The arithmetic of the pair
Write the two results side by side. If the gross figures are plus G and minus G, then after costs the pair reads G minus C and minus G minus C, where C is what entering cost. Add them together and the G disappears: the pair sums to minus twice the cost, and never to zero.
That sum is the whole asymmetry in one number, and it does not depend on how far the price moved. It is also the reason a sequence of trades that were right as often as they were wrong does not return to the balance it started from, because the two halves were never mirror images to begin with.
Running the pair
- Set the instrument, the direction and the volume, then leave all three alone for both runs.
- Enter an opening price and a closing price a fixed distance in your favour, and note the result.
- Move the closing price to the same distance on the other side of the opening price, and note the second result.
- Add the two results together. What remains is the cost of the pair, not a profit and not a loss.
- Repeat with the direction reversed if the position would be held overnight, because that line does not carry across directions.
The figures are indicative and are there to show the shape of the answer rather than to predict one.
Which parts of the answer mirror
| Part of the result | Same size, opposite sign | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Gross price result | Yes | Distance does not know its own direction |
| Money value of the position | Same figure in both | Fixed at the moment of opening |
| Spread paid on entry | Same in both, and subtracts twice | Paid once, whichever way the price goes |
| Commission where it applies | Same in both, and subtracts twice | Charged per side per lot, not per outcome |
| Overnight line | Neither | Follows the direction held and can carry either sign |
| The two net results added together | Never zero | What is left is the cost of the pair |
