Understanding Account P&L

Updated over 2 months ago

What is Account P&L?

Account P&L shows your overall profit or loss by tracking changes in your total balance, excluding net inflow. You can choose to display your P&L in US dollars or as a percentage of your wallet’s starting balance.

When should I use Account P&L?

Account P&L gives you a single, clear overview of your portfolio’s standing, and you can use it to evaluate your trading strategy and make better capital allocation decisions.

How do I view my Account P&L?

From the home screen, go to Dashboard > P&L. The aggregated P&L of your Master and Sub-account(s) will be displayed.

Example:

Wallet Activity

Amount (USD)

Starting Wallet Balance (Day T at 00:00 UTC)

$10,000

Deposits

+$3,000

Withdrawals

-$1,000

Ending Wallet Balance (Day T+1 at 00:00 UTC)

$15,500

The formula to derive Account P&L is:

Account P&L = Ending Wallet Balance - Starting Wallet Balance - Net Inflow

Net Inflow is the difference between total deposits and withdrawals.

For example:

  • Ending Wallet Balance is US$15,500

  • Starting Wallet Balance is $10,000

  • Net Inflow is $2,000

Your Account P&L would be $3,500, as calculated by:

Account P&L = $15,500 - $10,000 - $2,000 = $3,500

Additionally, the Account P&L (%) would be 35%, as calculated by:

Account PnL (%) = $3,500 ÷ $10,000 = 35%

What should I be aware of when using Account P&L?

  1. Account P&L represents the change in the USD value of your assets, excluding net inflows.

  2. For informational purposes only: Account P&L figures do not constitute financial advice. You should not rely on this information and should seek your own professional advice. The Exchange does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this data, particularly during periods of high market volatility.
