Study Notes | Coin-Margined vs. U-Margined
① Coin-margined contracts are calculated by the number of contracts, with each contract representing a fixed USD value; U-margined contracts are usually placed directly by coin quantity.
② The profit and loss of a U-margined contract changes linearly with the price: for a long position, P&L = (closing price − opening price) × coin quantity.
③ When you’re just starting out with futures, U-margined contracts calculate P&L in stablecoins, making it easier to work out the result of each trade.
