The spot trading experience continues to evolve, and with it, the tools traders rely on for accurate performance tracking. To enhance clarity, accuracy, and control over your trading metrics, a series of important upgrades have been introduced to the spot cost price functionality. These improvements empower users with greater flexibility in managing their investment data while ensuring consistency and precision in calculating returns.
Whether you're a long-term holder or an active trader, understanding your true cost basis is essential for informed decision-making. The updated system now offers enhanced data continuity, manual adjustment capabilities, and a more accurate reflection of your trading activity.
Introducing Manual Spot Cost Price Adjustment
One of the most significant enhancements is the ability to manually modify your spot cost price. This feature gives you full control over how your average entry price is calculated, allowing for personalized adjustments based on your investment strategy or off-platform transaction records.
Once you set a new cost price, all associated metrics—such as unrealized profit/loss and return rate—are automatically recalculated using the updated value. Going forward, any new spot trades will also build upon this revised cost basis, ensuring seamless integration with future transactions.
👉 Take control of your trading metrics with customizable cost pricing.
For example:
Suppose your trading account holds 1 BTC with a current cost price of $60,000. You then transfer another 1 BTC from your funding account, bringing your total balance to 2 BTC. If you manually update the cost price to $61,000, both BTC units will now reflect this new average. All subsequent trades will use $61,000 as the starting point for cost calculations.
Access this feature via:
Trade Page > Positions & Assets > Cost Price
This level of customization is especially useful for users who:
- Rebalance portfolios across accounts
- Incorporate external wallet holdings into their strategy
- Want to align platform data with personal records
Historical Data Migration for Accurate Cost Basis
To ensure consistent and reliable cost price tracking, the system now standardizes how historical data is processed. As of August 29, 2024, at 8:00 AM (UTC+8), all spot cost price calculations are based on unified logic applied across user accounts.
However, to preserve valuable historical context, pre-existing cost data before this date is being migrated into the updated framework. This migration ensures that long-term holders don’t lose insight into their original investment basis.
After the migration, you may observe one of the following scenarios:
- Previously empty cost price → Now has a value
The platform has successfully reconstructed your historical cost using available trade records. - Still shows no cost price after migration
No verifiable transaction history was found prior to August 29, 2024. You can manually input a cost if desired. - Existing cost price changes after migration
Your pre-August 2024 trading activity has been incorporated into the new model. If the result doesn’t match your expectations, you can adjust it manually using the new editing feature.
This upgrade means that your cost price now reflects a more complete picture of your trading journey—combining both recent activity and legacy positions.
Consolidation of Performance Metrics in Trading Account
Starting October 21, key performance indicators such as profit/loss and return rate will be centralized within the trading account interface, replacing their previous display across multiple pages.
You can continue viewing these metrics by navigating to:
- Spot Trading > Assets, or
- The detailed holdings page for each cryptocurrency
This change improves accuracy because:
- Only assets within the trading account influence cost price calculations
- Funds held in other accounts (e.g., funding or earning wallets) are excluded from these computations
- Aggregated views (like the overall asset summary) may distort per-account performance
By focusing exclusively on trading account activity, the system delivers a more precise and meaningful assessment of your spot trading results.
👉 Optimize your trading insights with accurate performance tracking.
For instance, if you hold 1 ETH in your funding account and 1 ETH in your trading account, only the latter impacts your displayed cost price and ROI. This prevents misleading averages and supports better strategic decisions.
Core Keywords Integration
Throughout this update, several key concepts underpin the improvements:
- Spot cost price: The foundational metric for evaluating unrealized gains and losses.
- Manual cost adjustment: A powerful tool giving users control over their average entry price.
- Historical data migration: Ensures continuity and completeness of long-term investment tracking.
- Trading account performance: Centralized metrics provide clearer insights than aggregated totals.
- Unrealized profit/loss: Directly tied to cost basis accuracy.
- Return rate calculation: Now more reliable due to improved data sourcing.
- Asset management optimization: Enhanced tools support smarter portfolio decisions.
- Cryptocurrency investment tracking: A critical need for both casual and professional traders.
These keywords reflect not only the technical upgrades but also the broader user intent: achieving transparency, control, and precision in digital asset management.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I modify the cost price for multiple coins at once?
A: Currently, cost price adjustments must be made individually for each cryptocurrency. Batch editing is not supported at this time.
Q: Will changing my cost price affect my tax reporting or official records?
A: No. This adjustment only impacts internal display metrics on the platform. It does not alter actual transaction history or generate official financial statements.
Q: Is the migrated historical cost data guaranteed to be accurate?
A: The system uses verified trade records up to August 29, 2024. While efforts are made to ensure completeness, users should verify results and make manual corrections if needed.
Q: Why can’t I see my old profit/loss numbers in the main asset overview?
A: Those figures have been moved to the trading account section to prevent misleading aggregation across unrelated balances.
Q: Does transferring coins between accounts reset my cost price?
A: No. Transfers between internal accounts (e.g., funding to trading) do not affect cost basis unless you manually adjust it afterward.
Q: Can I revert to my previous cost price after making a change?
A: Yes. You can edit the cost price again at any time to restore or update the value.
Final Thoughts
These updates represent a meaningful step forward in empowering users with accurate, flexible, and transparent tools for managing their spot trading performance. With manual cost adjustments, improved historical data handling, and focused metric presentation, traders now have better access to reliable insights.
As digital asset strategies grow more sophisticated, so too must the platforms that support them. These changes ensure that your trading data remains aligned with real-world decisions—giving you confidence in every move you make.
