Calculating Gain

[tradetree]

I have a question about Trade.ProfitPercent. If I want to calculate how much a contract made on a trade, is this correct?:
If I entered YG at $1340 and it has a price per point of $33.2
1340 * Trade.ProfitPercent/100 * 33.2 = dollar gain.

If Trade.ProfitPercent = 10, then the gain would be $4449.

The 1340 * Trade.ProfitPercent/100 converts to "points" and then I multiply by the $ / point.

Hi TradeTree,

TradeProfitPercent is presented in decimal. Print all values first so you can see how they're formatted.

I don't think you got my question. My question is if the formula I'm using to calculate a futures contract gain is correct? Is the example I gave a correct computation?
