Looking to up your trading game on Binance? In this guide, we will introduce you to the essential trade parameters and intuitive Binance Margin tools designed to help youtrack them that can significantly enhance your experience on our platform.

Understanding Key Trading Parameters

Margin trading can be complex, with many variables contributing to the success of each individual trade. Fortunately, Binance offers a range of tools to help you better assess your trades. Below are the key parameters and some of their relevant features:

Average Price

Average Price represents the mean price of a token observed over a given period of time. Calculated at the pair level for buy and sell orders independently, it allows traders to assess their Profit and Loss (PNL) effectively for the specific pairs they are trading.

The formula for Average Price is simple:

Average Price = Total Position Cost / Position

Position Cost: The purchase cost of the quote token when you are in a long position or the proceeds from selling the quote token in a short position. 

Position: The amount of the token you receive from your buy (in a long position) or sell (in a short position).

For example, if you made several BTC/USDC trades over the last 30 days, your Average Buy Price will look like this: 

Your Average Buy Price for this period would be:

Average Buy Price = ($62,000 + $63,500 + $61,000) / 3 =  $62,166.667

Your Average Sell Price for this period would be:

Average Sell Price = ($64,000 + $62,500) / 2 = $63,250

On Binance Margin, you can calculate this parameter for time periods ranging from 30 to 365 days.

How to access Average Price on Binance?

1. Log in to your Binance account and go to [Trade] - [Margin]. 

2. On the K-line chart, click [Settings], then select [Average Price]. In the pop-up window, you may choose your preferred time period for Buy/Sell Average Prices you want displayed. 

Trade Analysis Tool

Trade Analysis provides comprehensive insights into your trading performance. This feature allows you to evaluate total buy/sell amounts, average buy/sell prices, and other essential metrics, helping you understand how well your trades are performing over specific periods.

To effectively manage your trading performance, understanding how to calculate your Current Position, Total Position, and Average Position Price is crucial.

• Current Position

Current Position = Total Buy Amount - Total Sell Amount of the Base Token

Note: This data does not reflect the current balance of your Margin account.

• Total Position

Total Position = Total Buy Amount - Total Sell Amount of the Quote Token

• Average Position Price

Average Position Price = Total Position Cost / Position

How to use Trade Analysis? 

Go to [Orders] - [Margin Order] and select the [Trade History] tab. Click on the [Trade Analysis] icon at the top right corner to access your analysis tab. 

Cross Margin Entry Price 

Cross Margin Entry Price is a key metric in a Cross Margin account, allowing you to trade the same base tokens with different quote tokens. In this scenario, Entry Price or Adjusted Entry price can be a valuable tool to strengthen your token analysis.

Entry Price is the weighted average price of assets in your Margin account, which include assets that were transferred in/out and assets that were purchased/sold. 

• For Long Positions, only transfer-ins and buy orders are counted. 

• For Short Positions, only transfer-outs and sell orders are counted. 

Cross Margin Adjusted Entry Price 

Cross Margin Adjusted Entry Price reflects the price of your position after taking into account the profit and loss from all trades. The main difference between Adjusted Entry Price and Entry Price is that Adjusted Entry Price accounts for all capital flows, including buys, sells, and transfers in and out. In contrast, Entry Price only considers one-directional flows based on long and short positions. Here is how it is calculated:

Adjusted Entry Price = (Total Buys + Transfer-Ins - Total Sells - Transfer-Outs) / Positions

Below is an illustration of how Entry Price and Adjusted Entry Price work. This example uses BNB as the base token, with the USDT benchmark. Interest and trading fees are excluded.

Note: In long positions, sell orders are not included in Entry Price calculations, but they are factored in for Adjusted Entry Price.
