MEXC futures PnL explained
MEXC shows two numbers for a closed futures position: closing PnL and realized PnL. Only the second one is your result. Here is the difference.
Closing PnL vs realized PnL
MEXC describes the realized PnL of a position as:
Realized PnL = closing PnL + funding − opening fee − closing fee.
Closing PnL is only the price move. Realized PnL is what the position actually earned or lost, so that is the number to put in a journal. Do not subtract the fees from it again — they are already inside.
A small example
MEXC’s own API example: closing PnL 0.2245, fees −0.009, realized PnL 0.2155. Funding, if there was any, is added with its sign by the same formula.
Where to find closed positions
Closed positions are in the futures position history (on the website and in the app usually under Futures → Orders → Position history; names can change). Each row is a whole position, not a single order, so partial closes don’t split one trade into many rows.

Connect an exchange and your trades load automatically — PnL, fees and funding per trade. The demo works without signing up.
How long the history is
MEXC returns closed positions page by page, newest first. There is no hard short cut-off like Binance’s three months, but very long histories take many pages — a journal that stores what it has already loaded keeps old trades even if the exchange later stops showing them.
MEXC in CheckMyProfit
Connect MEXC with a read API key (without withdrawals). Closed positions load with their realized PnL — the same number MEXC shows — plus fees for reference, leverage and open/close time. Analytics then break the result down by coin, side, hour and day of week.
