Definition
The total profit or loss generated from all your trades over a specified period after deducting commissions, fees, and swap.
Formula
Accumulative Return Net $ = Accumulative Return $ – (Commissions + Fees – Swap)
Example
(Let’s continue using the previous example and add some hypothetical fees)
- Trade 1: Profit of $200, Fees: $10
- Trade 2: Loss of $50, Fees: $8
- Trade 3: Profit of $100, Fees: $5
- Trade 4: Profit of $50, Fees: $5
Accumulative Return $ = $300 (as previously calculated)
Total Fees = $28
Accumulative Return Net $ = $300 – $28 = $272
Key Points
