Hey @bkhan

I hope you're well. I would advise contacting our help desk. Depending on what you're trading and how long you're holding them for they may be able to help you pick more cost beneficial products or show you ways to make your profit/ loss clearer. 

For example if you're trading on a share dealing account they can incorporate the fees into your booking cost meaning when you sell your shares the profit/ loss will be more accurate. 

If you're trading on a leveraged account they will be able to determine after which date that the forward/ futures contract would be more cost effective for you. 

I hope this helps, let me know if you need anything else.

    • It is a best practice to buy dip and sell high but this strategy mostly doesn’t go as planned because you can’t predict the final bottom. Some traders BTD anticipating a potential pullback which mostly doesn’t happen and this force some into panic selling. DYOR is mostly advisable but some people fail to know which analysis they should focus more on. When deciding to hold a token for a long-term FA is very important and its cardinal point should be thoroughly scrutinized before making such a decision. These points include; Whitepaper, Road map, and Usecase. These points have a huge impact on deciding how long to hold a project and also booast your confidence in the project's bullish potential.  The first principle in this industry is “invest what you can afford to lose" though many neglect this principle as such when a project is going through a price correction they panic sell and sell at a huge lost. Most normal regret their decision later when they see the project back on track. Once you adhere to the first principle you hardly fall victim to panic sales. Note that it is mostly not advisable to hold meme tokens una less you are convinced because meme goes with the hype and finds it hard to retest its ATH once the hype is over.  Anyway what are your trading strategy and principles you adhere to most?
