I have had a paid subscription to Gainium for half a year, and I have been using free version for over a year. However, I still do not know how the results of my bots are calculated.
SITUATION DESCRIPTION
I launched 5 Grid Long Spot bots and 5 Future Short bots.
Future Short bots works as Grid Long Spot hedge in case of price changes.
Bots for a given currency launched within a few seconds difference.
Each bot for $100, total $1000, all paper.
Total value of the test account $10,000, so I use 10% of its value.
PROBLEM
I do not know what the result of my investment is.
CALCULATIONS
Total loss on Long Grid bots: -$31.97
This is inconsistent with the reported loss on assets: $500-$475.51 = -24.49
Total profit on Shots Futures bots: +$42.83
So the expected financial result is +$10.86 or +$18.34
The initial value of the test account is 10,000, of which $1,000 is used
So the current value should be $10,010.86 or $10,018.34
Meanwhile, the value shown by the Portfolio and Exchanges is $9,963.
The value shown by the Dashboard is $9,980
QUESTIONS and SUGGESTIONS
How much are my investments worth right now?
For simplicity, let’s ignore slipping, etc.
Let’s rely on the numerical values shown.
Where do the differences shown come from? Which amount is correct?
A summary of the total value of the position on the bots page, such as the ones I calculated manually, would be very useful.
Some time ago I noticed that the value of the bot just before closing can be even 5-10% higher than after closing. Why? This is definitely too much for slipping.
Is it possible to implement the Grid position hedging that I use more easily?
The portfolio value should show you your correct results. Unfortunately it cannot be filtered by exchange. The lower portfolio value results from the unrealized losses of open deals.
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, it is far from being sufficient.
If the portfolio value is correct (I only use Bybit), it means that the data shown on the bot pages are incorrect. In my opinion, unrealised long losses are included in the balance, just as unrealised profits are included in the short value. This can be seen in the screenshots.
I asked for a detailed explanation, documenting the matter well and asking 5 specific questions/suggestions.
If you are a member of the team, please respond in detail. If not, I hope someone from the team will provide such answers.
What is in the dashboard as the value of your account should be correct, at the moment that the snapshot was taken. This data is refreshed daily is not real time (getting all token counts from exchange and their value is a very heavy operation). The function of the account value widget is not meant to provide you the value of your account right this second, but a high level overview of the value of the account over time. Hece comparing real time bot results to account snapshots will always result in differences.
Thanks for the suggestion, we have this in the roadmap.
We would need more details like bot ID and specific trade ID to investigate.
