Positions Table

Monitoring Your Position

Once a trade is open, it appears in the Positions Table.

Key Metrics

  • Entry Price: The average price at which your position was opened.
  • Mark Price: The current market price used for PnL and Liquidation calculations.
  • C. Value: Current Value. (Size +/- PnL).
  • Liq. Price: The price at which you will be liquidated.
  • uPnL: Unrealized Profit and Loss.

PnL Calculation

Lemon Markets calculates PnL based on the price movement relative to your entry:
  • Long PnL: (Mark Price - Entry Price) * Position Size
  • Short PnL: (Entry Price - Mark Price) * Position Size

Funding Fees

To keep the perpetual price tethered to the spot price, Lemon Markets uses a Funding Rate.
  • If Funding is Positive: Longs pay Shorts.
  • If Funding is Negative: Shorts pay Longs.
  • Funding fees are settled periodically from your margin.

Maintenance Margin

You must maintain a minimum amount of collateral to keep your position open. If your margin falls below the Maintenance Margin (usually 1% of position size), your position will be liquidated.
