Once a trade is closed, did you make money or lose it, and by what percentage? Enter your direction, entry and exit prices and quantity — green for a win, red for a loss, at a glance. Add leverage and the return scales up with it.
This is a math conversion only. Results don't include fees, funding or slippage, so what you actually take home will differ slightly — and this figure is not a guarantee the trade is profitable or safe. With leverage, the return is scaled against your margin — the winning percentage is amplified, and so is the losing one — and a move against you can hit liquidation first.
Reviewing the PnL of every trade is where improvement starts. To actually trade, you first need a Binance account you can fund. Register with code BN771 for up to 20% off trading fees*.

Going short, it flips: PnL = (entry − exit) × quantity, so you profit only when the price falls. This tool works it out automatically based on the direction you pick, showing a profit in green and a loss in red so you can read it at a glance.
Return, though, has two meanings that are easy to mix up. One is the percentage move on the full position value — from 60,000 to 66,000 is +10%. The other is the return on the margin you actually put in. If you used leverage, those two numbers can differ a lot. The return here is given on a margin basis: the percentage gained or lost on the real money you committed.
This is exactly leverage's double edge. At 10x, a 10% move in the asset puts your margin return near +100% — tempting — but a 10% move the other way nearly wipes the margin out, and in practice the position is often liquidated before the full 10% even arrives. Leverage never amplifies just your upside; it amplifies volatility, liquidation odds and your heart rate too.
When you use this tool to review trades, build two habits. First, mentally subtract fees and funding — this tool leaves those out, so your real net will be thinner. Second, don't fixate on the pretty number from a winning trade; count your losing trades honestly too and look at the long-run net. To control risk before you open a trade, size it first with the Position Size Calculator, then check where liquidation sits with the Liquidation Calculator.
