AsstModerator asked me to look into this. Check my post count and the kind of threads I start if you are worried that I'm somehow working for any broker. Even my own brokers (which I don't disclose) are always kept under a magnifying glass to be sure they haven't "accidentally" stolen my money.
I can clearly see why he was not sure which trades you were talking about. Each screenshot was of a chart on something other than a forex pair and had several trades shown at the bottom. One had a trade highlighted that was not one of the two disputed trades. Had you shared the info in Post #43 when he first asked for specific info on forex pair trades, you would have saved yourself and AsstMod a large amount of time and effort.
Now, let's do the math and see if the numbers you gave make sense or not:
Damn. What happened to the FPA pip calculator? Guess I'll have to google around to get the formula.
https://www.xm.com/forex-calculators/pip-value can show me today's value, but that would introduce an error since prices have changed. What it did show me is the exact formula.
Pip Value = (One Pip / Exchange Rate) * Lot Size. All examples I see use the closing value for this calculation. We then need to multiply this by pips to get final gain/loss
Pip Value = (One Pip / Exchange Rate) * Lot Size
I'm going to do this step by step. That way it will be easy to spot if I make an error. It will also make it very plain if the predicted numbers are more that a few cents from the profit/loss shown in your statement.
Trade ID 6590883
Open Close Pips Volume P/L
0.73303 0.73937 -63.4 0.03 -$25.72
Trade ID 8680097
Open Close Pips Volume P/L
0.74051 0.73996 5.5 -0.05 $3.72
I subtracted to get the pips movement. All other numbers are the ones you provided.
First, let's check the pip values for the same size of trade. They will be close, but not exactly the same due to prices between the USD and AUD being different.
Trade ID 6590883
1 / 0.73937 (price is in USD and your account is in AUD - gives the value of 1 pip) = 1.3519
Trade ID 8680097
1 / 0.73996 = 1.3514
Oh good. They are very close. I would have been deeply embarrassed if I was wrong about that.
Now to check and how much a 1 pip move is worth for the lot size you are using (the Pip Value of each trade). The sizes are 0.03 and 0.05, but need to be adjusted to .3 and .5 to make the numbers work (depends on base lot size and also on getting the decimal point in the right place for dollars instead of cents).
Trade ID 6590883
1.3519 * .3 = 0.40557
Trade ID 8680097
1.3514 * .5 = 0.6767
Finally, for each trade, we need to multiply this pip value by the number of pips in the move.
Trade ID 6590883
0.40557 * -63.4 pips = -$25.71. You said 25.72, but I had rounded off earlier, so this matches.
Trade ID 8680097
0.6767 * 5.5 pips = $3.72
These are the numbers you reported above, plus or minus a cent. Do you see any calculation errors or anything else wrong here?
And before you further falsely impugn AsstMod as some sort of ICM shill, maybe you should examine the ICM review page more carefully. Check the warning note near the top about suspicious and fake reviews as well as the big fat ZERO stars on the review by Nayarin Joshi from April 2, 2014 here:

AsstMod runs the review moderation team. He's the person who writes those comments. He could remove the comment and make the fake review left by an ICM employee disappear if he wanted to. If he's on ICM's side, he's doing an absolutely pathetic job helping them out on those issues.
