Understanding Your Portfolio: Insights

This guide will help you navigate and interpret the available data to make well-informed investment decisions.

Updated over a month ago

These guidelines on investment data provide the clarity needed to understand the metrics displayed on the Portfolio page. Following this guide, users can effectively analyze the key terms and calculations to assess their portfolio’s performance.


Breakdown of Portfolio Terms

Understand the following key data points available on the portfolio page:

A) My current value

Represents the total amount currently invested, expressed in USDT.

B) Returns

This is the cumulative Profit and Loss (PNL) generated since your most recent connection to the service. This value resets when you entirely withdraw and reinvest your funds. Notably, the amount reflects earnings after deducting Success Fees, ensuring these funds are yours.

C) Sparklines

A compact representation showing the PnL compound percentage for the past 30 days. This data is limited to 30 days to optimize system performance.

D) Daily Avg

The daily average of PnL was calculated since the last connection to the service.

E) 3 mos

The PnL for the last 90 days reflects medium-term performance trends.

F) 6 mos

The PnL for the last 180 days reflects medium-term performance trends.

G) All

This metric shows the PnL calculated when the user initially invested in the service.

H) Investing since

The time elapsed since the user connected to the service offers a timeline context for the investment’s performance.

I) Z-score

This metric provides the Z-score of the service’s overall performance, offering a comparative performance indicator. Note that it does not explicitly reflect user-specific data.

J) Success Fee

Represent the commission charged on the profits earned from the investment

K) *Arrow

You can see more information about the service.

Calculating Profit and Losses

Understanding how to calculate Profit and Loss (PnL) is critical for evaluating financial performance. Let’s break it down with an example to show how PnL and other related metrics are calculated across different days.

PnL Scenario (Example)

  • Balance Day 1: $1,000

At the beginning of the period, we start with a balance of $1000. All metrics are zero, as there is no prior data to compare.

  • PnL Calculation - Day 2:

  1. PNL (Profit and Loss):

    • Formula: New balance - Last Balance

    • Calculation: 1750−1000=750

  2. PnL Percentage:

    • Formula: PNL/Latest Balance x100

    • Calculation: 750/1000x100 = 75%

  3. Fractional Change:

    • Formula: PnL Percentage/100+1

    • Calculation: 75/100+1=1.75

  4. Peak balance and Peak %:

    • The highest balance so far is 1750, and the peak % matches the fractional change of 1.75%.

  5. Drop % and Drawdown (DD):

    • There is no drop or drawdown because this is the first period of growth.

  • PnL Calculation - Day 3:

  1. PNL (Profit and Loss):

    • Formula: New balance - Last Balance

    • Calculation: 2000−1750=250

  2. PnL Percentage:

    • Formula: PNL/Latest Balance x100

    • Calculation: 250/1750x100=14.286%

  3. Fractional Change:

    • Formula: PnL Percentage/100+1

    • Calculation: 14.286/100+1=1.14286

  4. Peak balance and Peak %:
    The highest balance so far is 2000.

    • Formula: Previous fractional cumulative x current fractional change

    • Calculation: 1.75×1.142857=2
      The highest balance so far is 2000.

  5. Drop % and Drawdown (DD):

    • There is no drop or drawdown as the balance continues to grow.

  • PnL Calculation - Day 4:

  1. PNL (Profit and Loss):

    • Formula: New balance - Last Balance

    • Calculation: 1500−2000=-500

  2. PnL Percentage:

    • Formula: PNL/Latest Balance x100

    • Calculation: -500/2000x100=-25%

  3. Fractional Change:

    • Formula: PnL Percentage/100+1

    • Calculation: -25/100+1=0.75

  4. Peak balance and Peak %:
    The highest balance so far remains 2000.

    • Formula: Previous fractional cumulative x current fractional change

    • Calculation: 2×0.75=1.5

  5. Drop % and Drawdown (DD):

    • Formula: Peak Balance - Current Balance / Peak Balance

    • Calculation: 2000-1500/2000=0.25
      Drawdown is equivalent to the drop %: 25%.

This scenario demonstrates tracking PnL across multiple days, calculating growth or losses, and measuring additional metrics like peak percentages, drops, and drawdowns.
