Viewing Your Contract Positions

Once you are in the futures trading section, you can view your contract positions. This is crucial for understanding your current exposure in the market.

• Look for the 'Positions' tab on the futures trading interface. This tab will display all your open positions.

The key metrics to focus on include:

To calculate realized P&L:

• Go to the 'Trade History' or 'Order History' section within the futures trading interface.
• Find the closed positions and look at the 'Realized P&L' column. This value represents the profit or loss you actually realized when you closed the position.
