How to Calculate Profit and Loss in Commodity Trading  

Calculating profit and loss in commodity trading requires knowing the price at which you bought and sold the commodity, as well as any associated costs such as commissions and fees. To calculate profit, subtract the total cost of purchasing the commodity from the total revenue received from selling it. To calculate loss, subtract the total revenue received from selling the commodity from the total cost of purchasing it.  

However, you don't need to do these calculations manually as markets.com offers a commodity calculator that does the job for you. You simply need to input the necessary information, and the calculator will provide you with the profit or loss amount. This makes the process simple and convenient, allowing you to focus on making informed trading decisions.
