How is the profit and loss percentage calculation computed?
For the purposes of calculation, FTJ assumes that the hypothetical entry allocates $10,000 to the purchase of a single contract, without leverage. In actuality, the $10,000 may not be fully extinguished or required in the acquisition of some contracts and may require more funds in others. Since most real life situations will require excess capital in the trading account for maintenance, FTJ uses $10,000 as the investment requirement for each hypothetical entry in calculating the percentage of profit and/or loss to the Subscriber position. FTJ then calculates the ticks determined between the entry price and the exit price for the subject contract, multiplies this result by its respective tick value, and computes the profit or loss on a particular entry. This value is then divided by the hypothetical investment position of $10,000 to determine the percentage of profit or loss for each entry.
