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.

2. Does it show all the cryptos you hold?

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

3. Is the change in assets in Crypto PnL Analysis in real-time?

The number of assets changes in real-time, but there is a 5-10 minute delay in PnL.

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

6. How is the average cost calculated?

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

Note: price of the last deposit is the price at the moment of depositing

7. How is the PnL calculated?

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

8. How is the PnL% calculated?

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