🔍 How this number is built
Open a trade to see the full sum: entry price, current price, the move in points, your position size, the spread you pay on entry, and how those combine into open P/L and equity.
🔀 What if…
Change the costs and the safety net, then watch the same trade come out differently. The spread you pick applies to the live trade above; the stop distance is the worst case you have agreed to accept.
| Scenario | Open P/L | Equity | If stop hit |
|---|---|---|---|
| No spread · 5-pt stop | — | £1000.00 | −£100.00 |
| No spread · 10-pt stop | — | £1000.00 | −£200.00 |
| No spread · 25-pt stop | — | £1000.00 | −£500.00 |
| 0.04 / unit · 5-pt stop | — | £1000.00 | −£100.80 |
| 0.04 / unit · 10-pt stop | — | £1000.00 | −£200.80 |
| 0.04 / unit · 25-pt stop | — | £1000.00 | −£500.80 |
| 0.12 / unit · 5-pt stop | — | £1000.00 | −£102.40 |
| 0.12 / unit · 10-pt stop | — | £1000.00 | −£202.40 |
| 0.12 / unit · 25-pt stop | — | £1000.00 | −£502.40 |
Spread is a fixed toll: it is subtracted the moment you open, whatever price does next. A wider stop lets the trade breathe, but the worst case grows with it — at 20 units, a 10-point stop puts £200.00 on the line before costs. Shrink the position size and every number in this table shrinks with it.
