MOST TRADERS FOCUS ON FINDING THE NEXT 100X But almost none understand the math behind the trade SP = Selling Price. What you got out. CP = Cost Price. What you put in. MP = Marked Price. What it said before the deal. Profit = SP minus CP Loss = CP minus SP Profit % = (Profit ÷ CP) × 100 Loss % = (Loss ÷ CP) × 100 The formulas nobody teaches you: CP = (SP × 100) ÷ (100 + Profit%) CP = (SP × 100) ÷ (100 - Loss%) SP = ((100 + Profit%) ÷ 100) × CP SP = ((100 - Loss%) ÷ 100) × CP Most people can’t calculate their real profit They count unrealized gains as wins And wonder why the account never grows Numbers don’t lie. Feelings do.
