    mt4 position size and expected profit vs actual profit issue

    A question for the position size guru's... using mt4

    I've only come across a position dimension issue and wonder if someone might have the ability to describe it for me?
    In mt4 I possess a significant difference in my anticipated profit and revealed actual profit

    profit long 1 gt;gt; the standing dimension is 0.06 and the current profit is 1 point. . .yet the true profit displayed is 0.08 -- my anticipated profit was 0.06*1 = $0.06
    profit long2 gt;gt; the standing size is 0.06 and the current profit is 57 point. . .yet the true profit displayed is 4.45 -- my anticipated profit was 0.06*57 = $3.42
    profit short 1 gt;gt; the standing size is 0.06 and the current profit is 36 point. . .yet the true profit displayed is 2.81 --my anticipated profit was 0.06*36 = $2.16

    each shows about an higher standing size of 0.018 greater than anticipated.
    Once the position is in negative territory the result is amplified even more at about 0.02 greater than anticipated.

    Does anybody know what's happening here?
    Is this happening to anybody else?
    Thanks Beforehand,

    So there is no issue. You must take into consideration the pip value in your calculation.
