Your questions answered

P&L (Profit & Loss) shows how your account balance has performed over a selected time period. It gives you a consolidated view of how much you have gained or lost across all your activity on the platform, expressed in USD.

You can view your P&L across the following periods:

The currently selected period is highlighted with a checkmark. Tap any option to switch the view.

Your total P&L is calculated by aggregating performance across all of the following sources:

1. Crypto & Fiat Holdings

Any change in the USD value of assets you hold in your Wallet. If the market price of a cryptocurrency you own goes up or down, this is reflected in your P&L for the selected period.

Example: You hold 1 ETH. If ETH rises from $3,000 to $3,500 during the selected period, your P&L from this holding is +$500.

2. Spot Trading

Realized gains and losses from buying and selling cryptocurrencies on the Spot market. Each completed trade contributes to your P&L based on the difference between the buy and sell price.

Formula:

P&L = (Sell Price − Buy Price) × Quantity

Spot P&L examples

Scenario 1 — Buy and Hold (Price Drops)

You buy 1 BTC at $80,000. The current market price is $65,000.

(65,000 − 80,000) × 1 = −$15,000

You have not sold the asset:

• Realized P&L = $0
• The account may display −$15,000 based on current market valuation.

The loss becomes realized only if you sell.

Scenario 2 — Buy and Hold (Price Rises)

You buy 1 BTC at $80,000. The current market price is $100,000.

(100,000 − 80,000) × 1 = +$20,000

• Realized P&L = $0
• Performance metrics may reflect the price increase

Profit becomes realized only after selling.

Scenario 3 — Buy → Sell Everything

You buy 1 BTC at $80,000, then sell 1 BTC at $95,000.

(95,000 − 80,000) × 1 = +$15,000

Final state:

• BTC balance = 0
• Realized P&L = +$15,000
• No further market exposure

This is a fully closed position.

Scenario 4 — Buy → Partial Sell → Buy Again

Step 1: Buy 1 BTC at $80,000.

Step 2: Sell 0.4 BTC at $90,000.

Realized P&L (Trade #1): (90,000 − 80,000) × 0.4 = +$4,000

Remaining balance: 0.6 BTC.

Step 3: Buy 0.6 BTC at $70,000. New total balance: 1.2 BTC.

Cost structure:

• 0.6 BTC at $80,000
• 0.6 BTC at $70,000

If current price = $75,000:

Portion A: (75,000 − 80,000) × 0.6 = −$3,000 Portion B: (75,000 − 70,000) × 0.6 = +$3,000 Net market impact = $0

Realized P&L so far = +$4,000

3. Rewards

Any bonuses, referral rewards, promotional credits, or other platform rewards credited to your account are counted as positive P&L contributions.

4. Earn

Income received from Earn products — such as staking, savings, or yield programmes — is included as P&L. This covers both distributed and accrued returns depending on the product type.

Example: You stake assets and receive weekly yield distributions. These accumulate as positive P&L over time.

5. Futures & CFDs

Realized and unrealized P&L from leveraged positions on the Futures and CFD accounts. This includes:

• Closed position P&L (realized)
• Open position P&L (unrealized) — can be seen when selecting Current unrealized P&L on the Trade screen.

CFDs P&L examples

Realized P&L formula:

P&L = (Closing Price − Opening Price) × Position Size − Fees

Fees may include trading fees and overnight/swap charges, depending on position duration and platform conditions.

Note: Fees are not included in the examples below. Applicable trading fees may reduce your final profit or increase your loss.

Realized P&L example (Long position):

• Open: BTC CFD at $30,000
• Close: $31,500
• Position size: 0.5 BTC

Gross P&L (before fees): (31,500 − 30,000) × 0.5 = +$750

Final Realized P&L = Gross P&L − Applicable Fees

Unrealized P&L formula:

Unrealized P&L = (Current Price − Entry Price) × Position Size

Unrealized P&L does not include closing fees, as the position remains open.

Unrealized P&L example:

• Entry: $30,000
• Current price: $29,200
• Position size: 1 BTC

Unrealized P&L = (29,200 − 30,000) × 1 = −$800

Unrealized P&L changes in real time and becomes realized only when the position is closed.

Futures P&L examples

Realized P&L formula:

P&L = (Closing Price − Entry Price) × Contract Size − Fees

Fees may include trading fees and funding payments (for perpetual futures), depending on market conditions.

Note: Fees are not included in the examples below. Applicable trading fees may reduce your final profit or increase your loss.

Realized P&L example (Long position):

• Position: Long ETH Futures
• Entry: $2,000
• Exit: $2,100
• Size: 2 ETH

Gross P&L (before fees): (2,100 − 2,000) × 2 = +$200

Final Realized P&L = Gross P&L − Applicable Fees

Unrealized P&L formula:

Unrealized P&L = (Current Price − Entry Price) × Contract Size

Unrealized P&L does not include closing fees. Funding payments, if applicable, are calculated separately according to the funding rate.

Unrealized P&L example:

• Entry: $2,000
• Current price: $1,950
• Size: 2 ETH

Unrealized P&L = (1,950 − 2,000) × 2 = −$100

Does depositing funds affect my P&L?

No. Deposits and Withdrawals are treated as neutral cash flows and do not inflate or deflate your P&L figure.

Why is P&L different between the Wallet and Trade screens?

The Wallet screen shows your overall portfolio P&L including all holdings and income. The Trade screen focuses on your open and closed trading activity. The Current unrealized P&L option is only available on the Trade screen.

Are Earn rewards shown in real time?

Accrual frequency depends on the specific Earn product. Some rewards are distributed daily, others by the end of subscription. Your P&L will update as rewards are credited to your account.
