Recently, I have been studying BTC futures trading and discovered a strange phenomenon.

Clearly, the operations are profitable, but the account shows a loss. Has anyone encountered a similar situation? Is it possible that the fees generated by the futures events are not included in the profit and loss statistics?

Honestly, I haven't been involved in futures trading for long, but I have been lucky. I usually manage to grasp the right entry timing. Only once did I make a wrong judgment and suffer a loss, but most of the time I can exit steadily.

However, this display issue is really confusing me now. Does anyone experienced in this field mind explaining it? Or share how you usually verify your account's profit and loss?

Let's communicate and learn together for mutual improvement.

Fees and funding costs take up the biggest share. It may look profitable, but the net profit is actually gone. Your luck is indeed good, but contracts are like this — hidden fees are the silent killers. I've experienced it too; only by recording each transaction fee separately can you see the true picture. It seems that the platform you’re using still has slippage issues, plus insurance fees for liquidation and so on... Bro, this depends on which exchange you're using. Some platforms do have UI bugs. In your situation, it's almost certainly the funding rate secretly deducting money. I was also caught out before, but then I withdrew the full amount to verify, and every penny matched. Platforms won't proactively tell you about these fees; you have to dig them out yourself.

Ha, another genius who thinks they can exit stably because of their luck [cold laugh] Let's do some math. What was the liquidation rate of the last person who said this... Regarding fees, I suggest you carefully read the exchange's settlement logic first. Don't expect customer service to give you a reliable explanation. Wait, are you saying you can basically seize the right moment every time? Then why are you still confused here? Take a lesson from history. The 2017 wave was also full of this kind of argument, and the result was...

Oh no,手续费 (transaction fees) are really the hidden killer. I only realized it later on.

I’m just talking about the fees, that thing really eats money. --- It’s always like this, profit on paper but no actual funds coming in, so annoying. --- Haha, lucky you. Every time I do the opposite, I lose big. --- The funding rate also needs to be factored in, bro. --- This kind of thing is too common; the exchange’s algorithm just tricks you. --- I’ve been burned by this before, and I realized later that slippage counts as money too. --- Different platforms have different algorithms, the one I use shows net profit directly. --- Bro, your luck is really good. I’m not that fortunate.

Buddy, if you don't account for fees, it's easy to fall into traps. This pit is quite deep. --- Have you calculated how much the funding rate eats up? I was repeatedly cut by this thing before. --- Even with good luck, you should also watch out for slippage; otherwise, it's normal for the numbers not to match. --- Are there any unsettled positions in your account? This is often overlooked. --- Basically, the contract's accounting standards differ from your understanding. It's recommended to review the statement line by line. --- I've encountered this too. Later, I found out it was an issue with the conversion between coin-margined and USDT-margined contracts. Stuck in Babul. --- The most direct way is to ask customer service about this. Don't just research on your own; it wastes time. --- Take a screenshot before each close, otherwise you won't be able to trace it afterwards. Trust me.
