Frequently Asked Questions
How do you calculate crypto profit and loss (P&L)?
For a long position, Net Profit = [(Exit Price * Quantity of Coins) - Sell Fees] - [Initial Investment + Buy Fees]. In percentage terms: ROI (%) = (Net Profit / Initial Investment) * 100.
What is a crypto break-even price?
The break-even price is the exact price your cryptocurrency must reach for your trade to have $0 profit and $0 loss after covering all exchange trading fees on both entry and exit: Break-Even = Entry Price / [(1 - Buy Fee %) * (1 - Sell Fee %)].
How do cryptocurrency exchange fees affect returns?
Standard crypto exchanges charge between 0.05% and 0.50% per trade for maker and taker orders. For frequent day traders, fees compound quickly: a 0.2% round-trip fee on a $10,000 position costs $20 to enter and another $20+ to exit.
Do I have to pay taxes on cryptocurrency profits?
In most jurisdictions (including the US and UK), cryptocurrency is treated as property or capital assets. Selling crypto for a profit or swapping one token for another triggers a taxable capital gains event (short-term or long-term depending on holding duration).
What is Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)?
Dollar-Cost Averaging is an investment strategy where you divide total capital into periodic purchases (e.g. $100 every week) regardless of coin price, reducing the impact of market volatility compared to buying in a single lump sum.
