How are Advanced Metrics calculated?

Advanced metrics methodology

Written by Advait

Advanced Metrics is a PRO feature and offers deeper insights into the cost basis, gains, and performance of each investment in your portfolio.

Cost Metrics

Total Cost Basis:

For every purchase (Buy transaction or income from mining, airdrop, fork, or dividends):

Total Cost Basis = Total Cost Basis before + Cost of transaction

The cost of a transaction includes fees paid. For income from mining, airdrops, forks, and dividends, the cost of the transaction will depend on the settings you have set up. If you have "Use 0 cost basis for forks, mining & dividends" enabled, the cost basis would be 0. If you have it disabled, the fair market value (FMV) of the coin is obtained. You can edit this setting by going into Settings -> Calculations or by clicking here.

For example, if you received some coins via a fork and at that time the total coins are valued at $100, then $100 is considered the cost of this transaction.

For every sell transaction:

Total Cost Basis = Total Cost Basis before - Cost basis of units sold

The cost basis depends on the order of transactions. For the first Buy transaction, Total Costs Basis = cost of that transaction (including fees). Total Cost Basis is then calculated forward according to the above formulae.

Unit Cost Basis:

Unit Cost Basis = Total Cost Basis / Holdings

Gains Metrics

Unrealized Gains:

Unrealized Gains = Market value - Total Cost Basis

Realized Gains:

Realized Gains = SUM of realized gains of individual sell transactions

Realized gain of individual transactions is:

Proceeds from that transaction - Cost basis of the amount sold

Performance Metrics

% Change:

% Change is simply the unrealized gains as a percentage of the total cost basis. The higher the better.

% Change = Unrealized Gains x 100 / Total Cost Basis

Decision Score:

The decision score is the percentage of sell transactions with positive realized gains. It can range from 0% to 100% (the best).

Decision Score = Number of sells with positive realized gains x 100 / Total number of sells
