Great request! š Here’s a list of the Best Math and Physics Scientific Formulas that can be applied to Crypto Futures Trading, especially for making smarter, more precise, and high-probability trading decisions.
ā Best Math & Physics Scientific Formulas in Crypto Futures Trading
These formulas help you calculate risk, momentum, profitability, and market behaviorājust like physics applies to real-world motion, but for the price movement of crypto!
1ļøā£ Risk-Reward Ratio (RRR)
This measures how much you risk versus how much you expect to gain. Risk-Reward Ratio=ā£Entry PriceāStop Lossā£ā£Take ProfitāEntry Priceā£\text{Risk-Reward Ratio} = \frac{|\text{Entry Price} – \text{Stop Loss}|}{|\text{Take Profit} – \text{Entry Price}|}
ā Ideal RRR is 1:2 or better, meaning you risk $100 to make $200.
2ļøā£ Position Size Formula
Based on account size and risk per trade. \text{Position Size} = \frac{\text{Account Balance} \times \text{Risk %}}{|\text{Entry Price} – \text{Stop Loss}|}
ā Example:
- $1,000 balance
- 1% risk = $10
- Entry $50,000, Stop Loss $49,800 (difference $200)
- Position Size = $10 / $200 = 0.05 BTC
3ļøā£ Leverage Formula
Control bigger positions with less capital. Leverage=Position SizeMargin Used\text{Leverage} = \frac{\text{Position Size}}{\text{Margin Used}}
ā Example:
- $10,000 position
- $1,000 margin
- Leverage = 10x
4ļøā£ Momentum Formula (Physics Style)
In markets, price momentum is like physical momentum. Momentum (M)=Volume (V)ĆPrice Change (ĪP)\text{Momentum (M)} = \text{Volume (V)} \times \text{Price Change (ĪP)}
ā
High momentum = strong moves.
Look for big volume with sharp price shifts.
5ļøā£ Volatility Formula (Standard Deviation Ļ)
Volatility measures how wildly price moves. Ļ=ā(xiāxĖ)2n\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i – \bar{x})^2}{n}}
Where:
- xix_i = individual prices
- xĖ\bar{x} = average price
- nn = number of prices
ā
High volatility = wider stops, bigger profits.
Use tools like ATR (Average True Range) to simplify.
6ļøā£ Profit & Loss (P&L) Formula
PnL=(Exit PriceāEntry Price)ĆPosition Size\text{PnL} = (\text{Exit Price} – \text{Entry Price}) \times \text{Position Size}
For short positions, reverse it: PnL=(Entry PriceāExit Price)ĆPosition Size\text{PnL} = (\text{Entry Price} – \text{Exit Price}) \times \text{Position Size}
7ļøā£ Funding Cost (Cost of Carry)
Funding Cost=Funding RateĆPosition SizeĆTime HeldFunding Period\text{Funding Cost} = \text{Funding Rate} \times \text{Position Size} \times \frac{\text{Time Held}}{\text{Funding Period}}
ā Crucial for longer scalps or swings in perpetual futures.
8ļøā£ Acceleration of Price (Physics Concept)
Just like acceleration = change in velocity over time,
price acceleration can be viewed as: Price Acceleration=Ī(Price Change)ĪTime\text{Price Acceleration} = \frac{\Delta (\text{Price Change})}{\Delta \text{Time}}
ā Sharp acceleration = breakout signals.
9ļøā£ Sharpe Ratio (Profitability vs. Risk)
Sharpe Ratio=Average ReturnāRisk-Free RateStandard Deviation of Returns\text{Sharpe Ratio} = \frac{\text{Average Return} – \text{Risk-Free Rate}}{\text{Standard Deviation of Returns}}
ā High Sharpe = better risk-adjusted performance.
1ļøā£0ļøā£ Liquidity Density (Order Book Physics)
A rough idea for liquidity pressure: Liquidity Density=Total Bids or AsksPrice Range\text{Liquidity Density} = \frac{\text{Total Bids or Asks}}{\text{Price Range}}
ā High density = strong support/resistance zones.
š How These Formulas Help in Crypto Futures:
ā
Size your trades correctly.
ā
Calculate exact profits and losses.
ā
Measure risk vs. reward like a pro.
ā
Predict breakouts with price acceleration.
ā
Manage funding fees and avoid hidden costs.
ā
Control volatility with proper stop-loss distances.
š” Bonus Tip:
These formulas can even be coded into trading bots or TradingView scripts for automated scalping, risk management, and alerts!
