Average entry price calculator

Several entries on one coin make a single position on Binance, at their average price. Enter each entry's price and quantity to see the average, the price at which the position breaks even after fees, the profit or loss at a target exit, and where an isolated position would be liquidated.

How the average entry works

Binance keeps one position per coin and side, so every new entry is folded into it: the entry price becomes the average of all fills, weighted by quantity. Adding to a losing long lowers the average; it also makes the position bigger, so a further move against you costs more.

In one line: average entry = (price₁ × quantity₁ + price₂ × quantity₂ + …) ÷ (quantity₁ + quantity₂ + …). Break-even sits a little beyond the average, because the taker fee is paid on opening and again on closing.

The liquidation price follows the average and the whole size, not the first entry: on isolated margin it is computed from the margin behind the whole position, with that coin's maintenance margin bracket.

A worked example

Buying 100 coins at 1.00 and another 100 at 0.80 gives 200 coins at an average of 0.90. With fees, the long breaks even at about 0.9009. Selling at 1.00 gains (1.00 − 0.90) × 200 = 20 USDT, minus about 0.19 USDT in fees: 19.81 USDT, or 55% of the 36 USDT margin at 5x.

Questions

What is the average entry price?

The single entry price Binance shows for a position built from several fills: each fill's price weighted by its quantity.

Why is break-even higher than my average entry on a long?

Because a fee is paid on opening and again on closing. The price has to move a little past the average before the position is back to zero: slightly above it for a long, below it for a short.

Does averaging down lower my risk?

It lowers the average price but raises the size, so each further move against you costs more, and the liquidation price moves with the average. That is the trade-off to weigh before adding.

Is profit or loss shown before or after fees?

After the estimated fees on every entry and on the exit, at Binance's standard 0.05% taker fee. Funding payments are not included.

Why is profit shown as a percent of margin?

Binance shows the return on a futures position the same way (ROE): profit divided by the margin it uses, though its figure leaves fees out and this one includes them. At 5x, a 10% price move is about a 50% change in the margin.
