To calculate the amount received when closing a position, compare the contract price at closure to your average entry price. This determines your realized profit/loss per contract, not including fees..
For long positions, use the formula: Realized P/L = (Closure Price - Entry Price) * Contracts - Fees
For short positions, the formula is: Realized P/L = (Entry Price - Closure Price) * Contracts - Fees
Fees include Exchange and Technology Fees deducted from profits. If closing at max loss/stop, no amount is credited or debited. Otherwise, the realized P/L total incorporating all closing fees is the amount credited or debited to your wallet.
