Can anyone see something wrong here?

[Valery Gorokhovskiy]

Hi all, a real newbie here, can anyone point me in the right direction and tell me why the profit on these trades is around 40% less than it should be.

Im on a micro account.

Im of the opinion that the top trade should have a profit of 0.40

The same thing happens on all trades i have done.

Is the profit being reported in monetary units rather than pips?

Is it possible you expect to see the result in term currency rather than deposit currency?

...or perhaps in your account currency rather than in the quote currency? ;)

That caught me out for a while - I trade mostly in EURUSD but my account is in AUD. The profit is shown in AUD whereas my expectations were initially to see it in USD. This causes issues when looking at the history too because the conversion back into the account involves a spot trade that you only see the result of.
