    ROI

    Return on investment (ROI) is an indicator used to evaluate the performance of an investment.


    Please note that the ROI calculations for Master Traders with Standard Account and Unified Trading Account (UTA) are different. 



    Master Trader With Standard Account: 

    ROI = Total Profit / (Previous Account Equity + New Deposits)


    Total Profit = Current Account Equity - Previous Account Equity - Total Deposits + Total Withdrawals


    Account Equity = Wallet Balance + Unrealized PnL


    Wallet Balance = Sum(Bot Account Wallet Balance) + Master Trader Account Wallet Balance


    Sum (Bot Account Wallet Balance) = Position Balance + Margin for Pending Orders + Remaining Margin 


    Unrealized PnL = Unrealized PnL arising from position held in USDT Perpetual Trades and Trading Bots



    Master Trader With UTA: 

    Account Equity = Wallet Balance + Unrealized PnL


    Wallet Balance = Sum(Bot Account Wallet Balance) + Master Trader Account Wallet Balance


    Sum (Bot Account Wallet Balance) = Position Balance + Margin for Pending Orders + Remaining Margin 


    Unrealized PnL = Unrealized PnL arising from position held in USDT Perpetual Trades and Trading Bots


    New Deposit = Σ Asset Price × Deposit Amount


    Asset Price = The coin price at the time of deposit


    Profit = Realized PnL + Funding Fee Income - Trading Fee + Current Unrealized PnL - Previous Unrealized PnL 


    ROI = Total Profit / (Previous Account Equity + New Deposit)



    Please refer to the detailed examples (*) below.

    Master's PnL

    Total profit that includes realized and unrealized PnL.

    Real Time


    Win Rate

    The ratio of the number of trades realizing profit to the total number of closed trades.


    Formula

    Win Rate = (No. of Orders With a Positive Closed PnL + No. of Orders With a Positive Unrealized PnL) / (Total No. of Closed Positions + Total No. of Open Positions)


    Note: The calculation also includes the corresponding number of Trading  Bot positions created through Copy Trading.

    3AM UTC Daily 

    Follower's PnL

    Total profit of past and current Followers, including both realized and unrealized PnL. 


    Please note that Master Trader's and Followers' PnL may be inconsistent as Followers' entry timing/prices may vary.

    Real Time



    Max. Drawdown

    A maximum drawdown (MDD) is the maximum unrealized loss for a Master Trader in the last month. A low MDD indicates that the unrealized losses from a Master Trader's trading strategy has been relatively small.


    Formula

    MDD = |Min (ROI on N-Day− Total ROI on N − 1 Days)|

    3AM UTC Daily 


    Avg. PnL per Trade

    How to Calculate N-day ROI

    Example 1: Master Trader With Standard Account
    Assume that you want to calculate Trader A’s 7-day Copy Trading ROI between Oct 14, 2023 and Oct 20, 2023.

    Let's say that Trader A had 3,000 USDT in their Copy Trading Account on Oct 14, 2023, which comprises 2,800 USDT as their initial wallet balance and 200 USDT as the unrealized profit and loss. In addition, they deposit 300 USDT and withdraw 1,000 USDT on the same day.

    By Oct 20, 2023, their wallet balance had grown to 3,800 USDT with an unrealized profit and loss of 300 USDT, leaving him with a balance of 4,100 USDT in equity.

    In this scenario, their 7-day ROI from Oct 14 to 20 Oct is calculated as follows:

    Total Profit = Current Account Equity − Previous Account Equity − Total Deposits + Total Withdrawals − Commissions
    = (4,100 USDT − 3,000 USDT − 300 USDT + 1,000 USDT) = 1,800 USDT

    ROI = [1,800/(3,000 USDT + 300 USDT)] x 100 = 54.50 %

     

     

     

    Example 2: Master Trader With Unified Trading Account

    On Jan 8, 2023, Trader B’s unrealized profit and loss (UPL) is +2,300 USDT, and the trading results for the past seven (7) days are as follows:

     

    Realized PnL

    Funding Fee 

    Trading Fee

    8,000

    300

    400

     

    On Jan 1, 2023, Trader B’s UTA account had the following assets, along with an UPL of +1,200 USDT:

     

    Coin

    BTC

    ETH

    9,000

     

     

    In the past seven (7) days, the following transfer activities have taken place via UTA:

     

    Coin

    BTC

    LTC

    70

    Prices at the time of the transactions

    28,000

    75

    85

     

    The calculation for Trader B’s 7D ROI is as follows:

    Previous Account Equity = 27,000 × 1 + 1,500 × 10 + 9,000 + 1,200 = 52,200

    New Deposit = 28,000 × 2 + 75 × 120 = 65,000

    Profit = 8,000 - 300 400 + 2,300 1,200  = 8,400

    ROI = 8,400 / (52,200 + 65,000) = 7.17%
