Profit and Loss (PNL) and Return on Investment (ROI)

You can view the profit and loss of an option position from the time it was opened to the present through the UPL and ROI on the Positions page.

Position UPL is the unrealized profit and loss of an option position since opening, and the return on investment (ROI) is the rate of return of an option position since opening.
​
UPL = (mark price - average price) * position size (coin)
ROI (option buyer / long position) = (mark price - average price) / average price * 100%
ROI (option seller / short position) = (average price - mark price) / average price * 100%
Note: average price refers to the price of opening the position

Example 1

Amy has a long position of 0.5 BTC in BTC-USDT-24JUN22-30000-P with a real-time mark price of 100 USDT and an average opening price of 120 USDT, then the UPL and ROI of Amy’s position is as follows
UPL = (100 - 120)*0.5 = -10 USDT
ROI = (100 - 120) / 120 = -16.7%

Example 2

Amy has the following options position.
A short position in a BTCUSDT put option expiring in the following month, with a size of 2 BTC and a average price of 600 USDT.
Amy then close buys the BTCUSDT option at 800 USDT, at which point the mark price is 700 USDT and the average price of the position is still 600 USDT.

Then Amy’s current UPL and RPL at this time are as follows.

RPL = (close price - average price) * close trade size * (-1)
= (800 - 600)* 1 * (-1)
= -200 USDT

UPL = (mark price - average price) * position size (coin)
= (700 - 600) * (-1)
= -100 USDT
​
Note: When a user reduces or closes a position, realized profit and loss will be generated for each reducing/closing trade and will be settled to the cash balance immediately. On the other hand, unrealized profit and loss will not be settled unless the user reduces/closes positions to realize and settle profits and losses.
