trick question, for you to buy something at -37 they have to pay you, the only way to work out a true estimate is to know which price you bought in at a positive value

How did OP get negative dollars?
My ios trading app only has positive dollars.

57 dollars per swap/contract
Percentage wise depends on what your margin is, not sure how you calculate margin on a negative asset
Sebastian Allen
Just like usual. It's -150% or so. The confusion comes from the direction. If you are in the negatives, a further decline would be expressed by a positive percentage, and a move towards zero as a negative percentage.
For example: -10 changes by -50%: -10 + -.5*-10 = -5.
Percentages dont really tell you anything in this situation, but that was OPs point I guess.

What was your labor to transport the oil?
What was your overhead from purchasing the vessel to store the oil?
Use that as your buy price and the difference in buy/sell value as your sell price.

50% you either did or you didn't

Those were delivered future so you have to cover delivery cost. use this to calculate your net gains.

You had an initial investment of 0. There's no corresponding percentage (or infinity perhaps).

would have to use the imaginary number i

percentages do not matter in this case. figure out the storage costs for your investment and then subtract them from the gains.

Paid -37$
Got paid 20$
Got paid - Paid = 57$
57/Paid=57/(-37)=-154%
