Education only, not investment advice. The answer comes from the numbers you typed in, not from your account or the market. Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it.

Small rate, big total

A perpetual has no expiry, so the exchange keeps its price near the spot price with funding: when the rate is positive, longs pay shorts; when it is negative, shorts pay longs. 0.01% every 8 hours sounds like nothing, yet on a 10,000 position it is 3 a day and almost 11% of the position a year. In a hot market the rate can be ten times higher, and at 10x leverage a week of it can take a real slice of the margin.

To see where the same trade is closed by the exchange, use the liquidation price calculator; for overnight costs on MetaTrader, the swap calculator.

Not advice. Arithmetic on the rate you type; your exchange shows the real rate before each payment.
