Introducing Prediction Points and Capital Utilization Points for Futures trading
06/06/2024

Dear Nami community,


In order to provide additional tools to help users evaluate the effectiveness of Futures trading, Nami Exchange officially introduces 2 new indices: Prediction Point and Capital Utilization Point from 2024-06-06 07:00 (UTC).


What is a Prediction Point (PP)?

Prediction Points are calculated after each successful order close, used to evaluate the user's ability to trade against price fluctuations of the futures contracts from the moment the position is opened via a market order or matched over the limit order until the position is closed (partially or fully).

The Prediction Point is composed of 3 parameters: Range between opening price and highest profit price, Range between opening price and greatest loss price, Range between opening price and actual closing price.

In which, Profit and Loss prices are calculated in the same direction as the position: Long positions will have an absolute profit price larger and an absolute loss price smaller than the opening price, conversely, Short positions will have an absolute profit price smaller and an absolute loss price larger than the opening price.

A position with a higher Prediction Point represents a sharper ability to predict price movements, for example the position is closed at the highest possible profit price during its entire existence. On the contrary, a low Prediction Point represents an inaccurate prediction of price movements, i.e. a position is closed at the maximum possible loss over its entire lifetime.


What is the Capital Utilization Point (CUP)?

Based on Prediction Point, Capital Utilization Point is an index that represents a combined assessment of the ability to determine futures contracts prices and trading psychology based on the actual trading volume of each position.

When two positions have the same Prediction Point, i.e. closed at the best possible profit price, the position with larger trading volume will have a higher Capital Utilization Point.


Notice

  • The calculation of Prediction Points and Capital Utilization Points does not apply to Add Margin orders (because it does not change the Position Volume).
  • For positions included Volume Added an Partially Closed orders, the position volume will be allocated to each closed order according to the overflow principle, pre-formed volume will be calculated in advance for each close
  • Each user will have a different total Prediction Point and Capital Utilization Point based on points from all closed orders

Basic formula

Range between opening price and highest profit price = Absolute value of (Highest profit price - Opening price) / Opening price x 100%

Range between opening price and greatest loss price = Absolute value of (Highest loss price - Opening price) / Opening price x 100%

Range between open price and close price for a Long position = (Close price - Open price) / Open price x 100%

Range between opening price and closing price for Short position = (Opening price - Closing price) / Opening price x 100%

Note: The range between the highest profit price and the greatest loss price with the Open price is calculated as 0% when:

  • The highest profit price is lower than the Open price and the lowest loss price is higher than the open price for a Long position
  • The greatest profit price is higher than the Open price and the lowest loss price is lower than the opening price for a Short position

Prediction Point = (Range between opening price and highest profit price - Range between opening price and greatest loss price + Range between opening price and closing price) * 100

Capital Utilization Point = Predicted Point x Total Volume / Volume Reduce Index

In which, Volume Reduce Index = 5,000 USDT, 100,000,000 VNST or 100,000,000 VNDC
