Sample Calculation

  • BIST 30 Index contract is being traded at 67.000 and you are buying (long position) with the expectation that the market will rise. The market rises in line with your expectation and the price of the index contract becomes 68.000. As a result of the purchase transaction you have performed, your profit in return for the 750 TL cash margin you have deposited for 1 contract will be 68.000 – 67.000 / 10 = 100 TL.
  • BIST 30 Index contract is being traded at 67.000 and you are selling (short position) with the expectation that the market will fall. The market falls in line with your expectation and the price of the index contract becomes 66.000. As a result of the sale transaction you have performed, your profit in return for the 750 TL cash margin you have deposited for 1 contract will be 67.000 – 66.000 / 10 = 100 TL.
