Example
Day 1: 2,500 USD notional trading value = 1 point
Day 2: 3,500 USD notional trading value = 3 points (cumulative)
2.5.5. Formula for the calculation of notional trading value:
Notional trading value = Lot size * contract size * close price * exchange rate (base/quote)
Example 1
Gold (XAUUSD)
The following example demonstrates how the calculation of notional trading value is applied;
Lot: 2 Lots
Closing price: $1700.55
Contract size: 100 oz
Substituting the numbers into the formula (Lot size * contract size* close price / exchange rate (base/quote)):
2*100*1700.55 =340,110 USD notional trading value
Calculation to point(s) equivalent:
340,110 USD notional trading value = 170.05 = 170 points
Example 2
EURCAD
The following example demonstrates how the calculation of notional trading value is applied;
Lot: 2 Lots
Closing price: $1.38000 (EURCAD)
Contract size:100,000
Currency Rate: 1.35 (USDCAD)*
*In this example, USDCAD is used to convert the notional trading value calculated into USD.
Substituting the numbers into the formula (Lot size * contract size*close price / exchange rate (base/quote)):
2 * 100,000 * 1.38000 / 1.35 = 204,444.44 USD notional trading value
Calculation to point(s) equivalent:
204,444.44 USD notional trading value = 102.22 = 102 points
Example 3
EURAUD
The following example demonstrates how the calculation of notional trading value is applied;
Lot: 2 Lot
Closing price: $1.50000 (EURAUD)
Contract size:100,000
Currency Rate: 0.70 (AUDUSD)*
*In this example, AUDUSD is used to convert the notional trading value calculated into USD.
Substituting the numbers into the formula (Lot size * contract size*close price / exchange rate (base/quote)):
2 * 100,000 * 1.50000 / 0.70 = 428,571.42 USD notional trading value
Calculation to point(s) equivalent:
428,571.42 USD notional trading value = 214.28 = 214 points
