Equity & Loss Calculation of Futures Account

Equity of Contract Account

Contract account consists of equity, deposit, RPL and UPL. Means all assets of this contract in your accounts.

Equity = Deposit + realized profits/losses + unrealized profits/losses.

Account Balance

Balance: margin of your contract account, it is also the amount transferred from your spot account. After settlement, your RPL will be added to your balance.

Unrealized Profit & Loss

The profit / loss generated by a position that has yet to be closed，which will change with the latest price.

Long side:

UPL of contract = (1/position price- 1/latest price) * Number of contracts * Contract face value

Short side

UPL of contract = (1/ latest price - 1/ position price) * Number of contracts * Contract face value

E.g. A user opened 100 long BTC positions at position price 5000 USD/BTC, and the last traded price is 8000 USD/BTC. The UPL of contract will be (1/ 5000 - 1/ 8000) * 100*100 = 0.75 BTC

Realized Profit & Loss

Profits and losses, from the last settlement till now, have been realized by closing your position. It can be used as margin for the holding positions and open orders. RPL is in fact the profit / loss generated after closing position(s).

Realized profit and loss cannot be transferred out of the contract account before clearing/delivery of the contract.

RPL of contract:

Long side:

RPL of contract = (1/position price - 1/close price) * Number of contracts * Contract face value

Short side:

RPL of contract = (1/close price - 1/position price) * Number of contracts * Contract face value

E.g. A user opened 100 long BTC positions at position price 5000 USD/BTC, and the last traded price is 4000 USD/BTC. The realized profit & loss of contracts= （1/5000-1/4000）*100*100 = -0.5BTC.
