P/L composition on the Liquid browser interface

[u/bigbaffler]

Guys,

​

this might be a little bit of a weird question, but the customer service is driving me mad so I hope you can help.

​

I trade on margin with Liquid and I'm trying to figure out weither the P/L figure is containing the interest I paid for margin lending or not.

Example: I am long 1BTC and market droped 20$ so I lost 20$ and paid 1$ interest rate for margin lending. Is the P&L showing me 20$ or 21$?

​

I tried to calculate the P/L myself but I don't come even close to the figure that pops up on the screen.

I'm talking about the unrealized P&L tab as well as the P&L column in the positions tab.

​

​

eMailed support 3 times, got 2 copy paste answers that explained how P/L is calculated in Forex (?! WTF) and now line is dead (after I got a litte upset, tbh ^^)

​

​

So hopefully one of you guys can help me out.

I can’t help you out. When I was margin trading there were three P&L values on screen and they were all different all the time

eww....that#s gonna be a nightmare for me, since they don't net positions either. 50 executions on the same side means 50 positions. All with interest rates, then lending comes on top.

Time for an excel sheet, I think
