Decoding Gunbot Metrics: A Deep Look at ROE
Today we're going to explain an important yet often misunderstood concept: Return on Equity, commonly known as ROE. By the end of this article, you'll understand what ROE is, why it's useful and how it can guide your trading decisions.
Tip: Understanding ROE will enable you to make better decisions when configuring your Gunbot trading strategies.
What is ROE?
ROE stands for Return On Equity. It represents the percentage gain or loss on the current assets held in your portfolio, inclusive of trading fees paid. In other words, ROE helps you assess the profitability of your spot position at any given time.
Note
Gunbot includes the cost of trading fees in its ROE calculation. This provides a more accurate measure of profitability.
Here's where things get interesting: Gunbot analyzes the whole order history to calculate the current profit or loss on a position. Even with complex order sequences involving multiple buy and partial sell orders, Gunbot keeps track, so you always have a clear view of your position's profitability.
The Importance of ROE in Trading
ROE shows whether a position is making or losing money and gives you real-time information for trade decisions. On futures platforms, this kind of data is common. For spot exchanges, it is much less common.
So how does Gunbot use ROE? Through two common settings: GAIN and STOP_LIMIT.
1. GAIN
The GAIN setting lets you set a take-profit target at a designated ROE percentage. When your position reaches this specified ROE, Gunbot automatically triggers a sell order, locking in your gains.
2. STOP_LIMIT
On the flip side, the STOP_LIMIT option sets a stop-loss when a specific negative ROE value is exceeded. This feature allows you to limit potential losses by triggering an automatic sell order when the market moves against you.
The Added Value of ROE in Gunbot
By providing an precise view of your ROE, Gunbot puts you firmly in control of your trading decisions. This ability to quickly know your current ROE, something typically reserved for futures trading platforms, gives you an edge on spot exchanges.
Tip
The combination of GAIN and STOP_LIMIT settings in Gunbot offers a tactical approach to maximize profits and minimize losses based on accurate ROE data.
Trading is about making the right moves and understanding why they are the right moves. Gunbot gives you metrics like ROE to support that process.
💎 In a Nutshell:
