How the spot numbers work
On spot you buy the coin itself with your own money. Your profit is simply the price change on the coins you hold, minus a small fee when you buy and again when you sell. Pre-filled with a real Signava spot signal: entry, take profit and stop loss.
- ROI is profit as a share of what you invested. A 7% price rise is a ~7% ROI on spot, minus fees.
- Break-even is where you stop losing money after fees — useful for knowing how far a trade must go just to pay for itself.
- The stop loss is the price where you admit the idea was wrong. Decide it before you buy, not after — the risk management guide explains how.
Futures add leverage, which multiplies both profit and loss and adds a liquidation price. Try the same trade in the futures calculator to see the difference.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate crypto profit on spot?
Coins bought = amount ÷ buy price. Profit = coins × (sell price − buy price) − fees. ROI = profit ÷ amount invested × 100.
What is the break-even price?
The sell price at which the trade makes exactly zero after paying the buy and sell fees. With a 0.1% fee on each side it's about 0.2% above your buy price.
Can I lose more than I invest on spot?
No. On spot you own the coin with no borrowed money, so the most you can lose is what you put in. That's the big difference from futures — see the futures calculator.
