For example:
1、Assuming that you opened a long position of 5 ETH at a price of 1900 USDT in the ETHUSDT perpetual contract, and then opened a short position of 6 ETH at a price of 1890 USDT when the latest price was reached. With the fluctuation of the market, when the latest price of the ETHUSDT perpetual contract reached 1920 USDT, the floating profit and loss of the position are as follows:
Long position: (1920-1900) * 5 = 100 USDT
Short position: (1890-1920) * 6 = -180 USDT
At this time, the long position gained a profit of 100 USDT, while the short position suffered a loss of -180 USDT, resulting in a net loss of -80 USDT. This loss is less than that of opening only a short position, which would result in a loss of 100 USDT.
2、 Assuming that you opened a long position of 8 ETH and a short position of 6 ETH at a price of 1900 USDT in the ETHUSDT perpetual contract. If the market rises to 1950 USDT, the floating profit and loss of the position are as follows:
Long position: (1950-1900) * 8 = 400 USDT
Short position: (1900-1950) * 6 = -300 USDT
At this time, the long position gained a profit of 400 USDT, while the short position suffered a loss of -300 USDT, resulting in a net profit of 100 USDT.
