Fix the inputs before comparing
A comparison is useful only when the conditions match. Each calculation fixes the market, contract type, direction, leverage, notional, order type, estimated holding period, and selected region.
- Notional value is used to estimate opening and closing fees.
- Maker and taker rates are handled separately; a resting order is not assumed to fill.
- Region is used for eligibility reminders, not as a legal or account-approval determination.
How the cost estimate is assembled
Estimated total cost combines the opening fee, funding over the assumed holding period, and the closing fee. A range is shown so a variable funding rate is not presented as a guaranteed number.
In simplified form: estimated total cost = opening fee + estimated funding + closing fee. Every component uses the same notional and the assumptions shown with the result.
Risk distance is not a liquidation guarantee
Liquidation distance is a directional pre-trade estimate. Actual liquidation can depend on isolated or cross margin, maintenance-margin tiers, account equity, unrealized P&L, added collateral, and venue rules.
Before placing an order, treat the exchange account's order preview, contract specification, and displayed liquidation price as authoritative.
How to reproduce a result
Record every displayed input, source, and update time, then recalculate with the venue's published rate at that moment. If the result differs from the venue preview, use the venue information and check whether account tier, product type, or settlement interval differs.
Frequently asked questions
Why show a range instead of one exact cost?
Funding and execution conditions can change, so a range communicates uncertainty more honestly. Account tiers and promotions can also change fees.
Can I use the estimate as an order quote?
No. DZPTO is a pre-trade check. Use the exchange order preview and your account data for actual fees, available margin, and liquidation price.
