Inverse Prices
Sidepit's native price is the amount of Bitcoin paid for one U.S. dollar, expressed as integer satoshis per USD.
USD/BTC = 100,000,000 ÷ sats-per-USD
1,000
$100,000
1,250
$80,000
2,000
$50,000
The directions move opposite each other:
a higher Sidepit price means a lower familiar USD/BTC price;
a lower Sidepit price means a higher familiar USD/BTC price; and
a Sidepit bar high is the familiar USD/BTC low for the same interval.
Linear satoshi P&L
For one contract, a one-tick move changes P&L by the contract's published tic_value in sats. If unit_size is $500 and the minimum tick is one sat per USD, one tick is worth 500 sats per contract.
Convert to familiar USD/BTC at the display edge. Keep order construction, matching, margin, and P&L reasoning in the exchange's native integer units to avoid double inversion or floating-point rounding.
