How do I calculate PnL on Gate?

PnL = (exit - entry) x size for a long, or (entry - exit) x size for a short. ROE multiplies the price ROI by your leverage.

What is ROE on Gate futures?

ROE is the return on the margin you posted, amplified by leverage. A 10% move at 10x leverage is roughly a 100% return on margin.

Do Gate fees reduce my PnL?

Yes. Gate charges about 0.05% taker per side plus funding every 8 hours, so net profit is a little below the raw price PnL. This tool shows gross PnL; subtract roughly two taker fees for a round trip.

How PnL and ROE work on Gate

Gate lists thousands of tokens and offers perpetual futures across an enormous range of markets, with up to 100x leverage. Your raw profit on a Gate trade is the price move times your position size: (Exit − Entry) × Size for a long, and the reverse for a short. Price ROI is the percentage the asset moved; ROE is your return on the margin you actually posted, which Gate's leverage multiplies. Gate.io has one of the longest track records in the industry and the widest listing catalogue - if a token has a perpetual anywhere, Gate probably has it. That breadth makes it a favourite for long-tail and new-listing plays, with the usual caveat that thinner books mean you should keep leverage modest on obscure pairs.

Worked example

A 0.5-coin long opened at $60,000 and closed at $66,000 at 10× leverage:

Profit (gross)+$3,000.00

Price ROI+10.00%

ROE (10×)+100.00%

Leverage cuts both ways - the same move down would be a 100% loss of margin. Plan your exit and check your Gate liquidation price first.

ROE by leverage - same 10% move

ROE is just the price move multiplied by leverage. A single 10% winning move on Gate returns, on the margin you posted:

Leverage	ROE on a +10% move	ROE on a −10% move
5×	+50%	−50%
10×	+100%	−100%
25×	+250%	−250%
50×	+500%	−500%
100×	+1,000%	−1,000%

The higher the leverage, the faster ROE compounds - and the smaller the move that liquidates you. That symmetry is why position sizing beats chasing leverage.

Fees & funding on Gate

This tool shows gross PnL. On Gate you also pay about 0.05% taker per side (so roughly 0.100% for a round trip at market), plus funding every 8 hours while the position is open. On a fast scalp the fees can outweigh a small edge, which is why makers (resting limit orders at 0.02%) keep more of their profit. Subtract those costs from the figure above for your true net result.

FAQ

How is ROE different from ROI on Gate?

Price ROI is the raw % move. ROE multiplies it by your leverage - it is your return on posted margin. Fees and funding are not included in the gross figure.

Does Gate show PnL automatically?

Gate shows live PnL on open positions, but this tool lets you plan and compare scenarios before you trade - and see how leverage changes the ROE.

Is Gate available in the US?

No - Global; not serving US users. US traders can use a domestic venue such as Kraken.
