Use one of the following formulas:

For Buy Positions: Profit/Loss = (Contract × ClosePrice) - (Contract × OpenPrice)
For Sell Positions: Profit/Loss = (Contract × OpenPrice) - (Contract × ClosePrice)
Profit/Loss the profits/losses on the position expressed in the quote currency
Contract: the size of the contract in the base currency
ClosePrice: the rate when the position is closed
OpenPrice: the rate when the position is opened
Example: Let's calculate the USD profits/losses for a position on EURGBP.
The position:

Contract Size (in lots): 0.19 lots
Trading Instrument: EURGBP
EURGBP OpenPrice: 0.6983
EURGBP ClosePrice: 0.6883 (0.6983 - 0.6883 = 0.0100 = 100 pips)
Contract Size (in EUR): 19,000 EUR
GBPUSD Rate: 2.0256 (to convert the profits/losses from GBP to USD)
Calculation:

Profit/Loss = (19,000 × 0.6983) - (19,000 × 0.6883) = 13267.7 – 13077.7 = 190 GBP.
Now we'll convert to USD: 190 GBP × 2.0256 = 384.86 USD.
So, the position earned 384.86 USD in profits.
