Notes for calculating P&L, Initial Margin, and ROI:

USDⓈ-Margined Contracts

• Initial Margin:

Initial Margin = Quantity * Entry Price * IMR

IMR = 1 / leverage

• PnL (Profit and Loss):

Long position = (Exit Price - Entry Price) * Quantity

Short position = (Entry Price - Exit Price) * Quantity

• ROI (Return on Investment):

ROI% = PnL / Initial Margin = Side * (1 - Exit Price / Entry Price) / IMR

• Target Price:

Long target price = Entry Price * ( ROI% / Leverage + 1 )

Short target price = Entry Price * ( 1 - ROI% / Leverage )

COIN-Margined Contracts

• Initial Margin:

Initial margin = Qty * contract_multiplier * IMR / Entry Price

IMR = 1 / leverage

• PnL (Profit and Loss):

PNL = Trade Direction * Qty * contract_multiplier * (1 / Entry Price - 1 / Exit Price)

Trade direction：long is 1，short is -1.

• ROI (Return on Investment):

ROI% = PNL / Initial Margin = side * (1 - Entry Price / Exit Price) / IMR

• Target Price:

Target Price = Side * Entry Price / (Side - ROI * IMR)
