We’ve enhanced our spot cost price feature to provide traders with greater flexibility, control, and accuracy in managing and tracking trading performance. Below are the key updates:
1. Manual Editing of Spot Cost Price
Now, you can manually adjust the cost price of a token to reflect your preferred valuation. Once edited:
– The PnL (Profit and Loss) and PnL Ratio will update automatically.
– Future cost price adjustments from spot trades will use your edited value as the new baseline.
Example:
- Your trading account holds 1 BTC with a cost price of $60,000.
- You transfer another 1 BTC from your funding account, totaling 2 BTC.
- Editing the cost price to $61,000 updates the valuation for both BTC holdings.

Steps to Edit:
Navigate to Trade > Positions & Assets > Cost Price.
2. Historical Data Migration
Previously, spot cost price calculations only included trades made after August 29, 2024 (12:00 AM UTC). We’re now migrating older trade data to improve accuracy. Post-migration, you may encounter:
| Scenario | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Blank cost price before migration, populated after | The platform auto-calculated the cost price using historical data. |
| Blank cost price before and after migration | No historical cost price data exists for this token. |
| Changed cost price after migration | Your holdings include pre-August 29, 2024 trades. Edit manually if needed. |
3. PnL Data Migration to Trading Account
From October 21, 2024, PnL metrics will shift to the Trading Account for clearer segregation.
Key Changes:
– View spot cost price, PnL, and PnL Ratio under:
– Trade > Positions & Assets
– Token details in the Assets section.
– Asset Overview displays combined account data, but PnL calculations exclude funding account assets.
Phased Out Sections:
PnL data will no longer appear on legacy pages.

FAQs
1. Why can’t I edit the cost price for some tokens?
- Ensure the token is in your trading account. Funding account assets aren’t eligible.
2. How does historical data migration affect my PnL?
- PnL may change if older trades are factored into cost price calculations.
3. Will migrated data override manual edits?
- No. Manual edits take precedence over migrated values.
4. Where do I report discrepancies in cost price?
- Contact support via the platform’s help center.
5. Are futures or margin trades included in spot cost price?
- No. Only spot trades are considered.
These updates streamline portfolio tracking and performance analysis for a more intuitive trading experience.
