Bot statistics Value is uPnL

Bug Reports

I already tried to discuss why there aren’t clear columns PnL, uPnL and Total PnL + uPnL in the bots’ table.

Let’s address it with a new observation.

The column Value shows -$0.64. And the uPnL is

which sums up to almost the same value - as expected because of the small delay between the screenshots.

Thus Value in the bots’ overview is indeed the uPnL of the bot and not as the tooltip claims some strange mixture of realized and unrealized:

“The total realized and unrealized P&L of currently opened deals in $.”

It should say

“The total unrealized P&L of currently opened deals in $.”

Then we are only missing the column showing the Total uPnL/PnL

That’s not correct.

Say you are profiting in quote, the average price of the base is -2% and you already made 10% in quote with grid trading. The value of the deal is 8%, it includes the base you haven’t sold (unrealized P&L) and the quote obtained through the grid trading (realized profit). We use value and not uP&L because it makes more sense in grid trading. It doesn’t matter what the average price of the base is as long as you know if you are making money or not when you close that deal.

This is this DCA bot:

Currently the Profit, $ (which is the uPnL and has the wrong tooltip The realized profit or loss of the deal.) of my open deals sum up to

-$0.073.

The column Value in the Trading Bot overview shows:

-$0.07

Sorry, but Value is uPnL in case of Trading Bots.

Most times, but not necessarily. If you partially close the deal or take multiple TP you will also have realized+unrealized.

Yes, thanks for clarification. I missed that an order can also be partially closed.

If the PnL of partially closed deals doesn’t directly add to the column Total profit of the bot overview, then I agree that’s the name of column Value for PnL + uPnL of open (partially closed) deals makes sense.

In any case another column PnL + uPnL in the bot overview for closed and open deals would be helpful, too.
