Calculations of margin, balance, and PNL in Binance Credits
By default, the asset value will be displayed in BNFCR based on USD value.
For example, User A has the following assets in their Futures Wallet:
| Assets | Amounts | Price (USD) |
| USDT | 1,000 | 1 |
| BTC | 0.3 | 60,000 |
| BNB | 12 | 600 |
The balance valued in Binance Credits would be:
1,000 + 0.3 * 60,000 + 12 * 600 = 26,200 BNFCR
If User A opened a position (The fee rate is 0.05%):
| Contract | Side | Entry Price | Size(coin) | Mark Price |
| BTCUSDT perpetual | Long | 58,000 | 0.1 | 60,000 |
The trading fee would be = 58,000 * 0.1 * 0.05% = 2.9 BNFCR
The unrealized PNL would be = (60,000 - 58,000 ) * 0.1 = 200 BNFCR
The Margin Balance would be = 26,200 + 200 = 26,400 BNFCR
