Theory – What is Stock Profit & Loss?
Stock Profit and Loss calculation helps traders and investors know whether a trade was profitable or not. It is one of the most basic but important calculations in trading. Every professional trader tracks profit, loss, and return percentage before planning next trades.
If the sell price is greater than the buy price, you make a profit. If the sell price is lower than the buy price, you incur a loss.
Formula Used
Investment = Buy Price × Quantity
Sell Value = Sell Price × Quantity
Profit / Loss = Sell Value − Investment
Profit / Loss % = (Profit or Loss ÷ Investment) × 100
