How Is PnL Calculated in Binance?

PnL, or Profit and Loss, is a metric that is used to measure the performance of a trader or investor over a period of time. It is calculated by taking the difference between the total value of all the assets at the beginning of the period and the total value of all the assets at the end of the period.

If the total value of all the assets at the end of the period is greater than the total value of all the assets at the beginning of the period, then the PnL is positive. If the total value of all the assets at the end of the period is less than the total value of all assets at the beginning of the period, then PnL is negative.

PnL can be used to compare different traders or investors, or to compare different investment strategies. It is a good way to measure risk-adjusted return.

NOTE: Warning: It is important to understand the implications of how Profit and Loss (PnL) is calculated in Binance before attempting to calculate PnL. Binance uses a Mark Price method of calculation, which can differ from other exchanges, and may result in different calculations than expected. It is the responsibility of the user to understand the nuances of this calculation and to be aware of any potential discrepancies it may cause.

The formula for PnL is:

PnL = (Ending Value of Assets – Beginning Value of Assets) – (Costs incurred during period)

To calculate PnL, you will need to find the ending value and beginning value of all assets, as well as any costs incurred during that period. Costs can include things like commissions, fees, and taxes.

Once you have all this information, you can plug it into the formula and calculate your PnL.
