Notice the following:
Long
- Amount spent: 100
- Start price: 100
- Take profit price: 125
If we reach take profit
we have gained 25.
Short
- Amount spent: 100
- Start price: 125
- Take profit price: 100
If we reach take profit
we have gained 20.
As we notice the results aren’t synchronous for the same but opposite absolute distance. At least, if we use the same amount of quote currency for the initial order!
If we instead use the same amount of base currency the result of the short deal will be synchronous to the result of the long desl.
