Gross movement is not net payout
Illustrative P/L begins with position size multiplied by percentage price change. If exposure is $1,000 and the market moves 0.5% in the chosen direction, the gross mathematical change is about $5. That is not automatically the amount credited.
Actual settlement can reflect entry costs, performance-related charges, holding time, pricing methodology and execution conditions. The current Moon.com interface should be reviewed immediately before a wager is launched.
Why leverage magnifies fee relevance
When the expected movement is small, fees can represent a meaningful share of the gross result. High leverage can make small price changes look large relative to the wager, but it does not remove costs. A calculator that shows profit without flagging this limitation would be misleading.
Our scenario lab labels every P/L figure “before fees.” It does not invent a universal fee percentage or imply a guaranteed payout.
Holding time changes the question
A position intended to last seconds should be evaluated differently from one held longer. Product costs and market conditions can change over time, while the probability of encountering volatility also changes. A static calculator cannot determine the best duration.
Before confirming, read any displayed holding charge, review the exit controls and decide in advance what would invalidate the original directional idea.
Live values outrank examples
Articles and calculators are snapshots. Product rules, market availability and fee schedules can change. The confirmation panel presented for the selected market, location and account is more relevant than any worked example on an independent website.
