The complete guide to futures profit and loss calculation.
Select your futures contract
Choose from ES, NQ, YM, RTY, CL, GC, or SI. The tick size and tick value are pre-loaded automatically — no manual lookup required.
Set long or short
Select Long if you went long (expecting price to rise) or Short if you went short (expecting price to fall). This determines whether an upward price move is a gain or a loss.
Enter entry and exit prices
Type the exact prices from your trading platform. Use the full price including decimals — the calculator handles tick math precisely.
Set your contract count
Enter how many contracts you traded. The calculator shows both total P&L and per-contract P&L, making it easy to scale your analysis.
Log the trade and track your journal
Copy the P&L to your SuperTrader journal. Over time, see which futures contracts and setups generate the most consistent profit.
