In Binance Futures, your Profit & Loss (PnL) shows how much you are gaining or losing from a trade. It’s a bit different from normal (spot) trading because of leverage, fees, and funding rates.
Here’s a simple explanation 👇
---
📊 1. Types of Profit & Loss (PnL)
✅ Unrealized PnL (Floating)
Profit/loss of your open trade
Not final until you close position
Formula:
Long (Buy):
→ (Current Price − Entry Price) × Quantity
Short (Sell):
→ (Entry Price − Current Price) × Quantity
👉 Example:
Buy BTC at $30,000
Current price = $31,000
Profit = $1,000 (unrealized)
---
✅ Realized PnL (Final)
Profit/loss after you close the trade
Includes:
Trading fees
Funding fees
---
⚡ 2. How Leverage Affects Profit/Loss
Leverage multiplies both profit and loss.
👉 Example:
You invest $100 with 10x leverage
Position size = $1,000
If price moves:
+5% → Profit ≈ $50 (50% gain on your $100)
−5% → Loss ≈ $50
⚠️ Important:
Higher leverage = higher risk
Small price movement can liquidate your account

💸 3. Other Costs That Affect PnL
Your real profit is not just price difference:
• Trading Fees
Charged when you open & close trades
• Funding Fee
Paid every few hours (depends on market)
👉 Even if trade is correct, you may still see less profit because of these

✅ Simple summary:
Profit = price move × position size
Loss = same (but negative)
