How to calculate my PnL and ROI?

1. USDⓈ-M Futures Contract

USDT Revenue:
PnL = Closing Account Balance (inc. Unrealized PnL) - Opening Account Balance (inc. Unrealized PnL) + Withdrawal in the Selected Time Interval - Deposit during the Selected Time Zone - Commission Income in the Selected Time Interval
USDT Yield:
ROI = USDT Income / (100 USDT + Opening Account Balance + Sum of the Modified Deposit in the Selected Time Interval)
Modified Deposit = Deposit * (Time Between the Deposit and the End Date of the Selected Time Interval, in Seconds) / Total Time of the Selected Interval (in Seconds)
For example: if the selected interval is daily, the denominator is 86,400 seconds (24 hours), and the numerator starts at 86,400 (remaining time) and goes to 0.
When the selected time interval begins, the weight of a deposit = the total amount of the deposit. After 12 hours, the weight = 50%; after 23 hours, the weight = 1/24.*
*The logic behind it is that if you calculate your ROI within a 1-day time interval starting at 00:00, a deposit made at 12:00 (12 hours later) will only account for 50% in the modified deposit calculation, and therefore only impact the ROI negatively by 50%, hence the deposit weight is 50%.
USDT Volume: Volume of Purchases and Sales

2. COIN-M Futures Contracts

BTC Earnings:
Asset Trading Pair Income = Ending Asset Trading Pair Account Balance (inc. Unrealized PnL) - Beginning Asset Trading Pair Account Balance (inc. Unrealized PnL) + Asset Trading Pair Withdrawn in the Selected Time Interval - Asset Trading Pair Deposited During the Selected Time Interval - Selection Commission Income for Asset Trading Pair in Time Interval
BTC PnL = ∑ Asset Trading Pair Income * Closing Exchange Rate of Asset Trading Pair to BTC
BTC ROI:
Return on Total Assets = ∑[% of BTC Balance of Asset Trading Pair Account at the Beginning of the Period * Income of Asset Trading Pair / (100 USDT Equivalent Asset Trading Pair + Account Balance of Asset Trading Pair at the Beginning of the Period + Sum of the Modified Deposit of Asset Trading Pair in the Selected Time Interval)]
The Proportion of the BTC Balance of the Asset Trading Pair Account at the Beginning of the Period = [(the Account Balance of the Asset Trading Pair at the Beginning of the Period + Sum of the Modified Deposit of the Asset Trading Pair in the Selected Time Interval) * Closing Exchange Rate of the Asset Trading Pair to BTC]/∑[(Balance of the Account of the Asset Trading Pair at the Beginning of the Period + Sum Of The Asset Trading Pair's Modified Deposit for the Selected Time Interval) * Asset Trading Pair's Closing Exchange Rate Against BTC]
Asset Trading Pair Modified Deposit = Deposited Asset Trading Pair * (Time Between the Deposit of Asset Trading Pair and the End Date of the Selected Time Interval, in Seconds) / Total Time of the Selected Interval (in Seconds)
For example, if the selected interval is daily, the denominator is 86,400 seconds (24 hours), and the numerator starts from 86,400 (remaining time) to 0. When the selected time interval begins, the weight of a deposit = the total amount of the deposit. After 12 hours, the weight = 50%; after 23 hours, the weight = 1/24.*
*The logic behind it is that if you calculate your ROI within a 1-day time interval starting at 00:00, a deposit made at 12:00 (12 hours later) will only account for 50% in the modified deposit calculation, and therefore only impact the ROI negatively by 50%, hence the deposit weight is 50%.
USD Trading Volume = ∑ Volume of Purchase and Sales of Contract Trading Pair * Contract Multiplier of Contract Trading Pair

Daily PNL = Ending Equity (Current Time) - Beginning Equity (00:00 on the Start Date) - Net Inflow

Where:
Period Margin Balance = Day 1 Beginning Margin Balance + Cumulative Transfer Inflow
