Note: This is a simplified estimate. Exact formulas vary by exchange, margin mode, and contract type.
| Position | Formula | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Long | (Entry × Leverage) ÷ (Leverage + 1 − MMR × Leverage) | Ex: (20,000 × 50) ÷ (50 + 1 − 0.5 × 50) |
| Short | (Entry × Leverage) ÷ (Leverage − 1 + MMR × Leverage) | Ex: (20,000 × 50) ÷ (50 − 1 + 0.5 × 50) |
* Exchanges may include extra terms (fees, risk limits, bankruptcy price buffers, cross/isolated behaviors). Treat this as a learning tool, not an exact replica.
