A 0.1% entry fee and 0.1% exit fee sounds negligible — but the round-trip cost applies to the full notional position size, not your profit. On a $1,000 position the fee bill is $2 before you've made a cent. If your target is a 1% move, that's $10 gross profit minus $2 in fees — a 20% haircut on the trade. Traders chasing tight scalps of 0.5–2% are often handing 10–40% of their gross gain straight to the exchange. The calculator shows you the fee drag in dollar terms so you can judge whether the edge is real.
A common misconception is that leverage "amplifies" your per-unit profit. It doesn't. If BTC moves $5,000, you make $5,000 per coin whether you used 1× or 20× leverage. What leverage changes is how much of your own capital was required to control that position — your margin. With 10× leverage you only posted 1/10th the capital, so the same dollar gain represents 10× the ROI on your deployed funds. The flip side: losses are equally amplified on your margin, and you can be liquidated before the trade goes your way. The ROI figure in this calculator always uses margin as the denominator, not the full notional position.
For a long trade, profit comes from the price rising: gross P/L = (exit − entry) × quantity. For a short trade, you profit when price falls: gross P/L = (entry − exit) × quantity. The sign flips completely. A long trade on BTC from $50,000 to $45,000 is a $5,000 loss per coin; the same price move on a short is a $5,000 gain. The calculator handles both automatically — just flip the trade direction dropdown and every figure updates instantly.
Most traders focus on entries and exits and never add up what they paid in fees over a month. At 0.2% round-trip and 10 trades per day on a $1,000 position, the daily fee bill is $20 — $7,300 per year — before a single profitable trade. Exchanges make money whether you win or lose. This calculator makes the fee cost explicit so you can set minimum profit targets that actually leave you ahead.
With leverage, there's a price at which the exchange closes your position to prevent the balance going negative. For a 10× long, the simplified approximation is: liquidation = entry × (1 − 1/leverage). At 10× that's entry × 0.9 — a 10% adverse move wipes out your entire margin. In practice exchanges add a maintenance margin buffer, so actual liquidation happens slightly before this estimate. The figure shown here is directionally correct for planning purposes; always check the exact level on your exchange before placing a leveraged trade.
Entry $50,000 · Exit $55,000 · Position $1,000 · Long · 0.2% fees · 1× leverage. Quantity = 1000 / 50000 = 0.02 BTC. Gross P/L = (55000 − 50000) × 0.02 = $100. Fees = $1,000 × 0.002 = $2. Net P/L = $100 − $2 = $98. Margin = $1,000 / 1 = $1,000. ROI on margin = 98 / 1000 = 9.8%. Price move = (55000 − 50000) / 50000 × 100 = 10%. You can verify these exact numbers in the calculator above.
