Spot Grid Trading: Total Profit, Grid Profit & Unmatched Profit FAQ

Understanding Profit Components in Grid Strategies

Total profit, grid profit, and unmatched profit serve distinct purposes in evaluating your grid trading strategy's performance:

• Total Profit: Represents your strategy's comprehensive real-time profit/loss, combining realized and unrealized gains. This is the most accurate performance indicator.
• Grid Profit: Displays estimated earnings from completed grid cycles (minus trading fees). Note this is a theoretical display value only.
• Unmatched Profit: Shows unrealized gains from partially completed grid cycles. Like grid profit, this is for reference only.

Calculating Your Grid Strategy Profits

How Total Profit is Determined

Total profit dynamically reflects your strategy's current value by comparing initial investment against present asset valuation:

Total Profit = (Current Asset Value in USDT) - (Initial Investment)

Example: If you started with 100 USDT and your strategy now holds assets worth 200 USDT, your total profit is 100 USDT. This includes all executed trades, fees, and unrealized gains.

Grid Profit Calculation Methodology

Grid profit sums all completed grid cycle earnings after fee deductions:

Grid Profit = Σ (Individual Grid Profits)

Practical Example: BTC/USDT Grid Cycle

Calculation Breakdown:

1. Aligned quantity: 0.00005216 BTC
2. Gross profit: 0.00005216 × (101,000 - 100,000) = 0.05216 USDT

3. Fee adjustments:

   • Buy fee (USDT equivalent): 0.005216 USDT
   • Sell fee: 0.00526816 USDT
4. Estimated grid profit: 0.05216 - 0.005216 - 0.00526816 = 0.04167584 USDT

Note: Minor quantity differences occur due to:

• Fee deductions in different currencies
• Exchange minimum trade amounts
• Rounding residuals

Understanding Unmatched Profit

Unmatched profit accounts for unrealized gains in partially completed cycles:

Unmatched Profit = Total Profit - Grid Profit

This occurs when buy orders are filled but corresponding sell orders remain pending.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I withdraw all grid profits?

Several factors affect withdrawable amounts:

• Partial previous withdrawals
• Parameter modifications or additional investments
• Small residuals below minimum trade sizes
• Funds needed to support open orders

How accurate are the displayed profits?

• Grid/unmatched profits are approximations for reference only
• Actual fees vary by trade type and account tier
• Rounding may cause minor discrepancies
• Total profit remains the most reliable indicator

What happens to residual amounts?

Negligible balances (e.g., 0.00000000778 BTC) remain in your strategy until termination, when they're returned to your wallet.

Key Reminders

1. Simple earnings distribution shows under Earn Products if enabled
2. System calculates maximum safe withdrawal amounts
3. Profit displays don't guarantee actual earnings
4. Total profit includes all operational factors (deposits/withdrawals)

👉 Optimize your grid strategy for maximum returns

Always monitor your total profit for comprehensive performance assessment, as displayed grid/unmatched profits serve informational purposes only.
