There are 3 types of Currency Pair (Pair):

  1. Direct Rates
      Is a pair with USD as the counter currency (USD is situated in the rear), for example: GBP / USD, EUR / USD, AUD / USD, and NZD / USD
   2. Indirect Rates
      Is a pair with USD as the base currency (USD is situated in front), example: USD / JPY, USD / CHF, and USD / CAD
   3. Cross Rates
      Currency Pairs that do not contain the USD, for example: GBP / JPY, EUR / JPY, AUD / JPY, EUR / GBP, and GBP / CHF
For example 
Rates Direct currency (GBP / USD, EUR / USD, AUD / USD, and NZD / USD) how to calculate profit / loss are as follows:
(Selling Price - Purchase Price) x contract size x lot = Calculation of profit / loss
Example:

   1. Buy 3 standard lot EUR / USD 1.2000
      Sell (liquid) 3 lots of EUR / USD 1.2010

      Profit = (1.2010 - 1.2000) x 100,000 x 3 = $ 300

   2. Sell 1 standard lot of GBP / USD 2.0001
      Buy (liquid) 1 lot GBP / USD 2.0000

      Profit = (1.2001 - 1.2000) x 100,000 x 1 = $ 10
Special ending currency / USD, there is a way that is easy calculation: From the conclusions above, the mean profit of 1 point for every standard lot (100K) Currency Exchange ending / usd profit is $ 10. While the value of 1 point for 1 mini lot (10K) is $ 1 and for micro lots (1K) each point is worth $ 0.1
For example Rates Indirect currency (USD / JPY, USD / CHF, and USD / CAD) how to calculate profit / loss are as follows:
[(Selling Price - Purchase Price) / Price Liquidation] x contract size x lot = Calculation of profit / loss
Example:

   1. Buy 1 standard lot USD / JPY 110.00
      Sell (liquid) 1 lot USD / JPY 110.01

      Profit = [(110.01 - 110.00) / 110.01] x 100,000 x 1 = $ 9.09
Currency Cross Rates For instance (GBP / JPY, EUR / JPY, AUD / JPY, EUR / GBP, and GBP / CHF) calculation of profit / loss are as follows:
{[(Selling Price - Purchase Price) x Rate Base Currency Current] / Rate Pair Current} x contract size x lot = Calculation of profit / loss
Example:

   1. Sell 1 lot EUR / GBP at 0.6760 price (EUR / USD is the base currency of EUR / GBP, because the front of the EUR / GBP is the Base Currency)
      Buy (Liquid) EUR / GBP at 0.6750 price
      Rate EUR / USD: 1.1840

      Profit = {[(0.6760 - 0.6750) x 1.1840] / 0.6750} x 100,000 = $ 175.4
