Published on Aug 22, 2023Updated on Dec 22, 20232 min read58

1. What is the purpose of the Crypto PnL Analysis feature?

Crypto PnL Analysis feature helps users to view the profit and loss analysis of their crypto holdings and also supports profit and loss sharing of their crypto holdings.

No. Cryptos with a net value of less than $10 are not displayed.

No, stablecoins do not support PnL sharing at the moment.

5. How is cumulative PnL calculated?

When the total value of crypto assets is greater than $10, the system will start calculating the cumulative PnL. If a crypto borrowing has occurred, the absolute value of the borrowed crypto is greater than $10 and that currency will also be displayed.

Accumulated PnL at this point = absolute value of total value sold/withdrawal - absolute value of total value bought/deposit - absolute value of current position liabilities

Average cost = (Average cost before the last purchase or deposit * Amount + Price of the last purchase or deposit * Amount) / Balance after the last purchase or deposit

PnL = (Last price - Average cost) * Current balance

PnL% = (Last price - Average cost) / Average cost
