Notes for calculating P&L, initial margin, and ROE:
USDT-Margined Contracts
  • Initial Margin = Quantity * Entry Price * IMR
    • IMR = 1 / leverage
  • PnL:
    • Long = (Exit Price - Entry Price) * Quantity
    • Short = (Entry Price - Exit Price) * Quantity
  • ROE% = PnL / Initial Margin = side * (1 - entry price / exit price) / IMR
  • Target price:
    • Long target price = entry price * ( ROE% / leverage + 1 )
    • Short target price = entry price * ( 1 - ROE% / leverage )
Coin-Margined Contracts
  • Initial margin = Qty * contract_multiplier * IMR / entry price
    • IMR = 1 / leverage
  • PNL = Trade direction * Qty * contract_multiplier * (1 / entry price - 1 / exit price)
    • Trade direction:long is 1,short is -1
  • ROE% = PNL / initial margin = side * (1 - entry price / exit price) / IMR
  • Target Price = side * entry price / (side - ROE * IMR)
