Example: a long BTC trade
You deposit 1,000 USDC and buy 0.1 BTC at 80,000 USDC with 10x leverage.
Position size: 0.1 ร 80,000 = 8,000 USDC. Margin used: about 800 USDC.
BTC rises to 82,000: unrealized profit = 0.1 ร (82,000 โ 80,000) = 200 USDC, before fees.
BTC falls to 78,000: unrealized loss = 200 USDC.
