The spot trading experience continues to evolve, and with it, the tools traders rely on for accurate performance tracking. To enhance clarity, accuracy, and user control, a series of important upgrades have been introduced to the spot cost price functionality. These improvements are designed to give users greater flexibility in managing their portfolios while ensuring more precise calculation of gains, losses, and returns.
Whether you're a long-term holder or an active spot trader, understanding these updates is essential for maintaining accurate records and making informed decisions. Let’s explore the key changes and how they benefit your trading journey.
🔧 New: Manual Spot Cost Price Adjustment
One of the most requested features has now been implemented — manual cost price editing. This powerful update allows users to adjust the average acquisition cost of any cryptocurrency in their spot trading account.
How It Works
You can now go into your trading interface and manually set the cost price for a specific asset. Once updated:
- The system will treat this new value as the baseline for calculating unrealized profit/loss.
- Future trades (buys or sells) will adjust the average cost based on this modified starting point.
- All displayed returns and收益率 (yield) will reflect the revised cost basis.
Practical Example
Imagine you hold 1 BTC in your trading account with a system-calculated cost price of $60,000. You then transfer another 1 BTC from your funding wallet, bringing your total balance to 2 BTC. At this point, you decide to update the cost price to $61,000.
✅ Result: Both BTC units will now reflect a uniform cost basis of $61,000.
🔁 Going forward, any additional spot trades will recalculate the average cost based on this updated figure.
This feature is especially useful when:
- Importing historical holdings with known acquisition costs.
- Correcting discrepancies due to complex cross-account transfers.
- Maintaining personalized portfolio tracking independent of automated calculations.

📚 Historical Cost Data Migration Explained
To improve data consistency and calculation accuracy, the platform has migrated legacy cost price records. Here’s what you need to know:
All current spot cost prices shown reflect transactions occurring after August 29, 2024, at 8:00 AM UTC+8. Prior to this date, cost tracking was limited or not uniformly recorded across all account types.
Now, historical data before that cutoff has been reprocessed and integrated where possible.
What You Might See After Migration
| Scenario | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Current cost price is empty → Now shows a value | System has successfully reconstructed historical cost using available trade data |
| Still shows no cost price | No verifiable transaction history exists for that asset prior to August 29, 2024 |
| Old and new values differ | The updated cost includes pre-August 2024 trades; minor variances are normal due to enhanced calculation logic |
💡 Note: Even after migration, you retain full control. If the auto-calculated result doesn’t match your records, use the manual edit function to align it with your actual investment cost.
This migration ensures a more complete and accurate performance history, especially for long-term holders who’ve traded across multiple platforms or accounts.
🔄 Transition of Profit & ROI Metrics to Trading Account
Starting October 21, 2024, profit and return rate displays will be centralized within the spot trading account for improved accuracy.
Why This Change Matters
Previously, some profit metrics were visible on general asset overview pages that aggregate balances across all account types — including funding wallets. However:
- Only assets actively held in the trading account should influence cost price calculations.
- Funds sitting in savings, funding, or borrowing accounts do not impact trading performance metrics.
By focusing exclusively on the trading account, the system eliminates distortions caused by inactive holdings.
Where to Find Your Data Now
You can still view:
- Spot cost price
- Unrealized P&L
- ROI (Return on Investment)
📍 In these locations:
Spot Trading > Assets- Individual token detail pages under “Holdings”
Pages displaying outdated aggregate metrics will gradually phase out the old profit sections.
This shift supports cleaner data segmentation, helping traders make better-informed decisions based solely on active trading activity.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can I change the cost price more than once?
Yes. The manual cost price adjustment can be used anytime. Each update resets the baseline for future calculations. Just remember that frequent changes may affect the consistency of performance tracking over time.
Q2: Does transferring coins between accounts reset my cost price?
No — transfers from funding to trading accounts (or vice versa) do not automatically alter cost basis. However, once an asset enters the trading account, its cost price becomes subject to manual edits and ongoing trade-based recalculations.
Q3: Will this affect my tax reporting?
These updates are for display and internal tracking only. Always verify your actual transaction history via downloadable trade reports or ledger exports when preparing tax filings. The manual edit feature does not alter official trade records.
Q4: Is the migrated historical data guaranteed to be accurate?
The system uses verified trade logs to reconstruct past cost bases. While highly accurate, minor discrepancies may occur if certain trades were executed off-platform or involved unsupported wallets. Users are encouraged to review and manually correct if needed.
Q5: Does this apply to futures or just spot trading?
These changes apply exclusively to spot trading assets. Futures positions use separate marking and margin systems unaffected by spot cost price adjustments.
