These guidelines on investment data provide the clarity needed to understand the metrics displayed on the Portfolio page.
Breakdown
My Current Value | It consists of two amounts:
|
Sparklines (Graphs) | A compact representation showing the PnL compound percentage for the past 30 days. This data is limited to 30 days to optimize system performance. |
Daily Avg | The daily average of PnL was calculated since the last connection to the service. |
3 mos | The PnL for the last 90 days reflects medium-term performance trends. |
6 mos | The PnL for the last 180 days reflects medium-term performance trends. |
All | This metric shows the PnL calculated when the user initially invested in the service. |
Investing since | The time elapsed since the user connected to the service offers a timeline context for the investment’s performance. |
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. |
Success Fee | Represent the commission charged on the profits earned from the investment |

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.
New Balance | Last Balance | PnL | PnL (%) | Fractional Change | Cumulative Change | Peak (%) | Drop (%) | DD |
$1,000 | 0 | - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
$1,750 | $1,000 | $750 | 75% | 1.75 | 1.75 | 1.75% | 0% | 0% |
$2,000 | $1,750 | $250 | 14.2% | 1.14 | 2 | 2% | 0% | 0% |
$1,500 | $2,000 | -$500 | -25% | 0.75 | 1.5 | 2% | 0.5% | 25% |
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:
PNL (Profit and Loss):
Formula: New balance - Last Balance
Calculation: 1750−1000=750
PnL Percentage:
Formula: PNL/Latest Balance x100
Calculation: 750/1000x100 = 75%
Fractional Change:
Formula: PnL Percentage/100+1
Calculation: 75/100+1=1.75
Peak balance and Peak %:
The highest balance so far is 1750, and the peak % matches the fractional change of 1.75%.
Drop % and Drawdown (DD):
There is no drop or drawdown because this is the first period of growth.
PnL Calculation - Day 3:
PNL (Profit and Loss):
Formula: New Balance - Last Balance
Calculation: 2000−1750=250
PnL Percentage:
Formula: PNL/Latest Balance x 100
Calculation: 250/1750x100=14.286%
Fractional Change:
Formula: PnL Percentage/100+1
Calculation: 14.286/100+1=1.14286
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.
Drop % and Drawdown (DD):
There is no drop or drawdown as the balance continues to grow.
PnL Calculation - Day 4:
PNL (Profit and Loss):
Formula: New Balance - Last Balance
Calculation: 1500−2000=-500
PnL Percentage:
Formula: PNL/Latest Balance x 100
Calculation: -500/2000x100=-25%
Fractional Change:
Formula: PnL Percentage/100+1
Calculation: -25/100+1=0.75
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
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.
