Funding-Adjusted Break-Even Calculator
Start from fee break-even, then shift by cumulative funding cash divided by quantity.

From estimate to a live bot scenario
Carry the same logic into Veles: set comparable parameters, preview the order grid, then backtest before you launch.
- Match direction, leverage, grid, Martingale, and TP/SL
- Inspect orders, capital allocation, and average entry
- Stress-test fees, drawdown, and MAE in a backtest
Assumptions & conventions
- Fee BE: long entry×(1+f)/(1−f); short entry×(1−f)/(1+f).
- Funding sign matches the funding calculator: long pays when rate > 0.
- Settlements = floor(holdingHours / interval). Approximation: fee BE then ± fundingCash/qty — exit fees on funding shift ignored.
- Enter percents as numbers: 0.04 for 0.04%.
Frequently asked questions
How is funding cash signed?
Same as the funding calculator: long pays when rate > 0 (negative cash flow to long).
Total funding = per-interval payment × floor(holdingHours / interval).
Why is the funding adjustment approximate?
Fee break-even is computed first, then price shifts by fundingCash/qty. Exit notional changes slightly, so exact fee on the shifted exit is not re-solved.
Use as planning bias, not tick-perfect BE.
Do I need at least one settlement?
Yes. Holding time must cover one full funding interval — partial intervals do not count (floor convention).
Match interval hours to your venue (often 8h).
Long vs short break-even direction?
When funding is a cost to your side, break-even exit moves away from entry (higher for longs paying funding).
Receiving funding pulls break-even toward entry.
Should I combine with the plain funding calculator?
Yes. Funding calculator shows cash magnitude; this tool translates that cash into a price offset on top of fee BE.
Run both with the same rate, notional, and hold time.
