Example :
Say you placed a contract for US Crude forecast worth 1000 USD, predicting that the price will fall by 100 points. The price was 68.645 at the moment of placing the contract. Then the price moved down to 68.605, by 40 points, and you decided to close the contract earlier. In that case, your profit will be 400 USD. You can calculate the result (both profit and loss) using the following formula:
contract_size / predicted_number_of_points × actual_number_of_points = 1000 / 100 × 40
The loss on unsuccessful contracts closed before the price has reached the predicted number of points is calculated using the same formula.
