How are returns calculated in the marketplace?

Discover the methodology behind calculating returns in the marketplace.

The marketplace bot results are based on the actual returns of the running bot managed by the official trader. This reflects the real performance of the trader.

The returns are calculated by dividing the Gross Profits & Loss over a specific period by the Max Required Assets.

• Gross Profits & Loss: the sum of profit and losses from closed positions during a defined timeframe (in the example above, calendar month).

• Max Required Assets: the maximum amount of assets necessary to operate the strategy. It represents the highest value of positions (in $) open simultaneously over a given period.

• Period of Time: the time frame can vary, including calendar month, the last 30 days, and other periods like the last 7 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months.

Practical Example

A bot opened and closed 3 positions in the last 30 days as follows:

1. Position I: open on day 0, closed on day 30. PnL of +50 USDT, position size of 500 USDT.

2. Position II: open on day 0, closed on day 15. PnL of +50 USDT, position size of 500 USDT.

3. Position II. open on day 0, closed on day 5. PnL of +10 USDT, position size of 500 USDT.

The Gross Returns are calculated as follows:

• Gross Profits & Loss : 50+50+10=110 USDT

• Max Required Assets: 500+500+500 = 1,500 USDT (from day 0 to day 5, all 3 positions were open at the same time)

• Period of Time: 30 days.

Gross Returns: 110/1,500 * 100 = 7.3%
