How to Track Your Top Gainers and Losers
Identify your best and worst performing assets to refine your investment strategy and manage risk.
Gainers and losers rank your own holdings by contribution rather than by headline percentage, which is the view that answers the question that matters: what actually moved the portfolio. A large position up two percent moves it more than a small one that doubled, and a ranking by percentage would tell you the opposite. Read it for concentration rather than for congratulation — a portfolio where one position accounts for most of both the gains and the swings is making a single bet, whatever the number of assets in it suggests.
Before you start
- More than one holding, and enough history for the comparison to mean anything.
Navigate to Performance Analytics
Go to Wallets > Portfolio > Top Gainers/Losers. This section ranks your held assets by performance over your selected time period.
Review Top Gainers
The gainers list shows assets with the highest positive P&L, both in absolute and percentage terms. Identify what is driving your portfolio's growth. Consider whether to take profits on large gains or let winners continue running based on your investment thesis.
Review Top Losers
The losers list highlights underperforming assets. Assess whether the losses are temporary drawdowns in fundamentally sound assets or signs of a bad investment. This information helps you decide whether to hold, add to the position, or cut losses.
Use Insights for Rebalancing
Compare your current allocation with your target allocation. If certain assets have grown significantly, your portfolio may be over-concentrated. Use the portfolio insights along with the Rebalance Bot or manual trades to maintain your desired asset distribution.
If something goes wrong
- A big percentage mover is not at the top.
- The ranking weights by contribution to the portfolio. A small position cannot lead it, however far it moved.
- The numbers change when you switch period.
- Performance is period-dependent by definition. Compare like with like before drawing a conclusion, and be wary of picking the period that flatters the position you already like.
- A position you closed is still listed.
- Realised performance stays in the period it belongs to. The view covers what the portfolio did over the window, not only what it holds right now.
Frequently asked questions
- What period should I use?
- One matching how long you intend to hold. Daily movement is noise for a position measured in months.
- Does this account for fees?
- Performance figures are net of trading fees where they apply to the position.
- Should I rebalance on this view?
- It shows concentration, which is the input to that decision. The decision itself is yours, and a rebalance bot can carry it out on a rule rather than on a mood.
- Why is a small holding at the top of the losers?
- Because contribution combines size and move. A small position can lead the losers if it fell far enough relative to the rest of the portfolio.
- Does this include earn and staking positions?
- It covers the wallets the portfolio view aggregates. Check the per-wallet breakdown when a figure does not match what you expected from spot alone.
