I short matic and it goes down, but when I want to close it tells me minus 170 why

It’s only up by a little bit

Why would it go -300 when it went up only by a few cents

Answer

You short matic from 1.87, now mark price is 1.9 which is relatively up from your entry

You open 1525 matic size

Its your size position. You are now holding 1525 contract of matic. Every 1 dollar down you will get 1525$, 1 dollar up you will lose 1525. depend on your margin it might be liquidated
