i think its a problem of configuration in my excel file
because when i divide 1000/105.493 (ask usdjpy) i have got the pip rice 9.47
but when i do like this 1000/$F$4 i have got 0.009479302 so i multiply by 1000 to get 9.47

Sorry, but to me that formula doesn't make much sense. What are you even trying to calculate there? And what are the inputs you use?

It worked for me just by recalculating the the F8 cell without changing anything.

However, what is the point of such calculations? It appears that each trade risks the entire account to just win some minor profit.

By the way, don't forget to recalculate your H column (profit), because it is using the wrong position size. E.g., the first profit should be 109.36, not 905.35.
