09 Nov 2018, 12:35


Hi:

I sell (bitcoin 0.1) at price 6467.7,and the point is 1084,the ticksize and tickvalue is 0.1,0.1.

And I think the profit is volume*(point/ticksize*tickvalue) which is 0.1*(1084/0.1*0.1) = 108.4$,

but the profit show on ui is 10.84!!!???

why?need help!

Thanks.

Hi zhuyeaini,

Thanks for posting in our forum. The formula is profit = volume *  points * tick value.

Best Regards,
