You can check various Cross Margin position information from the trading page. Go to [Trade] - [Margin] and scroll down to the [Positions] tab.
Hover over an underlined parameter to view more details.
Please note that values are displayed based on the selected benchmark (USDT or BTC).

1. Position

It represents the net amount of assets in your Margin account. A non-zero, positive number indicates a long position, while a non-zero, negative number indicates a short position. Please note that only non-zero positions will display information like Index Price, Entry Price, PNL, etc.

2. Position Value

This number represents the value of your position in USDT or BTC, according to the Index Price.

3. Index Price

4. Entry Price

The entry price is the weighted average price of assets in your Margin account, which include assets that were transferred in and assets that were purchased.
  • The cost of the transferred assets is based on the market closing price in USDT or BTC at the time of the transfer.
  • The cost of assets bought is the market closing price of that trade's filled time.
Example 1 (USDT Benchmark):
You transferred in 1 BTC with a USDT index price of 10,000 USDT at the time of transfer. Your entry price is 10,000 USDT. Subsequently, you borrowed 15,000 USDT to buy 2 BTC with an average fill price of 7,500 USDT. The entry price of BTC will become (10,000 * 1 + 7,500 * 2) / 3 = 8,333.33 USDT.
  • If you sold 2 BTC with an average fill price of 15,000 USDT, you still have 1 BTC in your account, and your entry price remains unchanged at 8,333.33 USDT.
  • If you shorted 1 BTC, in order to sell 4 BTC with an average fill price of 15,000 USDT, your entry price will change to 15,000 USDT because your position changed from long to short.

5. PNL (Profit and Loss)

PNL = Position * (Index Price - Entry Price)
  • A positive number indicates profit, a negative number indicates loss.
  • Any outstanding interest will reduce your PNL for a short position, but does not impact your PNL for a long position.

6. Liquidation Price

The liquidation price is calculated based on your positions and their respective price indices. Eligible assets in your Cross Margin account are recognized as margin collateral, therefore changes in the Index Price for any token in your Cross Margin account may impact the liquidation price for another token in the same account. Please note that the liquidation price is only indicative. Click here to find out more information about liquidation price.

7. To Liquidation Price

This value represents the percentage difference between the index price and the liquidation price.
Similar to Cross Margin, you can also check the position parameters for Isolated Margin from the trading page by accessing [Trade] - [Margin] - [Isolated Margin] - [Positions]. However, the Isolated Margin Cost and PNL only consider the transactions after opening the position. The trading amounts are not included.
Hover over an underlined parameter to view more details.
Please note that values are displayed based on the selected benchmark (USDT or BTC).

1. Position

Position = Equity = Total Balance - Debt. It represents the net amount of assets in your Margin account. A non-zero, positive number indicates a long position, while a non-zero, negative number indicates a short position. Please note that only non-zero positions will display information like Index Price, Entry Price, PNL, etc.

2. Position Value

This number represents the value of your position in USDT or BTC, according to the Index Price.

3. Index Price

The Price Index is a bucket of prices from the major spot market exchanges, weighted by their relative volume. To learn more about how Index Price is set, read Margin Trading Index Price Explained.

4. Cost

Cost refers to the total value transferred into the account after opening the position. Please note that this is different from the Cross Margin Entry Price calculation.

5. Realized PNL

Realized PNL = The total value transferred out after opening the position.

6. PNL (Profit and Loss)

PNL = Current Position Value + Realized PNL - Cost, where the “cost” is determined as the accumulated transfer-in value of the Isolated Margin account. The accumulated transfer-out value is counted as “realized PNL”. For Isolated Margin, the PNL only considers the transactions, not the trades.
