Yes I know the amount of money that I am losing but I want to know when my first posities reaches  negative 50% PnL (is for a strategy that I am using)
Look at the coin that I am trading presently. I will call it gambling because it is not a well known coin and it is very volatile but I want to use it to explain to you.


   

Right Image is when I am gaining right now. Left image is when I am losing. All taken right now as it is a coincidence to have both.

You can see the amount that I am winning in green. You can see the amount that I am losing in red. Beside both green profit and red loss, you can see the percentage that I am losing.

But if you increase your leverage, this will not be accurate. It has to be 1x. If you increase the leverage without increasing the position size, the amount you used to will reduce in respect to the percentage, making the percentage profit and loss to increase but ehich is not ehst it supoosed to be as yiu ha e higher amount in tihr trading account.

This is what I mean. Take note of 1x and the 50x leverage.

   

I only increased the leverage and not the position size. The same risks. More funds would be in my future account because of the leverage while the amount I used to trade reduced, making the percentage profit increase.

If you are not pleased with that, some exchanges have trading calculator. I have seen it before on exchanges like Binance.
