Please help me understand these losses
« on: November 21, 2017, 02:02:42 AM »
Attached is a shot of my hourly bittrex spreadsheet (although I keep messing with the time intervals).

Disclaimer: I have no idea how to read the sheet.

Looking in the profit/h column we can see many losses. I was under the impression there should never be a "loss" in a complete buy/sell transaction because the BOT will only sell at a higher rate than he/she purchased at correct? So why all the losses?? Where are my actual profits (if any)?? How Do I read this damn thing?

Sometimes the price of whatever you bought goes down and you haven't sold yet.. That's where the loss is.

Your actual profit so far is on the right column.
