Crypto Futures Profit Formula
This guide gives the direct formulas used to estimate long and short crypto futures outcomes before entering a position.
Long position
Gross PnL = margin * leverage * ((target price - entry price) / entry price)
Net PnL = gross PnL - entry fee - exit fee + referral payback
Short position
Gross PnL = margin * leverage * ((entry price - target price) / entry price)
ROI = (net PnL / margin) * 100
