What is calculation rule for closing profit after settlement?

The settlement period for all varieties of Perpetual Swap is 8 hours, and settlements are made three times a day, which are 00:00, 08:00, and 16:00 (GMT + 8), position price will change to settlement price. The unrealized P/L thereafter will be calculated based on the latest price and settlement price. Users can go to Transaction Records for “unrealized P/L after settlement” for a given contract.

Please note that Position P/L = P/L after Settlement + Unrealized P/L after Settlement.

 

Note:

A. Reflecting users real position cost, Open Price is the average cost price of positions and will not be affected by settlement. P/L and P/L Ratio is calculated using Open Price as position cost.

B. Position Price is used to calculate users Unrealized P/L and Closed P/L. At the beginning of position opening, Position Price equals to Open Price. After settlement, the settlement price becomes the average Position Price to calculate P/L in the next week. Changes in the average Position Price will not affect users' actual P/L.

 

 For Example:

1.A user opened long 1000 conts BTC Swap contract at 10:00 on 2020/10/23 (GMT+8). His Open Price and Position Price were both 6000 USD; At 15:30 on 2020/10/23 (GMT+8), the latest price of BTC Swap contract is 6150 USD, then the P/L and Unrealized P/L of his open interests are listed below

Long Position Unrealized P/L

=(1/Position Price - 1/Latest Price)* Number of Long Contracts * Contract Face Value

=(1/6000 - 1/6150)* 1000 * 100

=  0.4065 BTC

Because the position has not been settled, the P/L is the same as the Unrealized P/L, which are both 0.4065 BTC.

 2.Assuming that the settlement price is 6200 USD when the settlement is made at 16:00 (GMT + 8) on the day, the system settles the UP / L according to the settlement price of 6200 USD. After settlement, the open price is still 6000 USD, and the position price becomes the settlement price of 6200 USD. At 17:00 (GMT + 8) soon, the latest price of BTC swaps contract is 6180 USD, then the P / L and UP / L of the held position are as follows:

Settled Long Position Unrealized P/L

= (1/Position Price 1/Latest Price) * Number of Long Contracts * Contract Face Value

=1/6000 - 1/6200* 1000 * 100

= 0.5376 BTC

After the settlement

Long Position Unrealized P/L

=(1/Position Price 1/Latest Price) * Number of Long Contracts * Contract Face Value

=1/6200 - 1/6180* 1000 * 100

= - 0.0521 BTC

Position P/L

=P/L after Settlement + Unrealized P/L after Settlement

= 0.5376 - 0.0521

0.4854 BTC

If the user closes all positions at this time, and the average transaction price is 6180 USD, then the Position P/L = Unrealized P/L after Settlement+ P/L after Settlement.

 

Therefore, after settlement, if the displayed P/L is positive but it changes negative after position closing, it is because the Position P/L is P/L after settlement and the realized P/L of the latest settlement. The actual P/L in the example is positive.
