Digital Surge’s Wallet ROI (Return on Investment) feature gives you a clear and easy way to track how each of your crypto assets is performing. For every coin in your wallet, you’ll see two main figures: Total Return & Day Return.
You’ll also see key trading data like your Last Buy/Sell Price and your Average Buy/Sell Price, so you can easily monitor your trading activity.
Total Return
Total Return shows your overall gain or loss on a particular asset. It includes both:
Unrealised returns – profit/loss from coins you’re currently holding
Realised returns – profit/loss from past trades or withdrawals
This is calculated from the point where your wallet balance for that coin was last at zero.
In other words, once you completely sell or withdraw a coin, your ROI resets. Any new activity after that starts a fresh ROI calculation.
Some platforms only show unrealised gains based on your current holdings. But on Digital Surge, Total Return includes the full performance of the coin on your account — combining past and present trading activity, as long as the wallet hasn’t been reset.
Day Return
The Day Return figure is calculated in the same way as the Total Return, but limited to the current day.
It takes the value of your wallet at midnight (AEST) and compares it to its current value, including any trading activity that has occurred since midnight.
This gives you a simple figure showing your profit or loss for the day.
Important Notes on ROI Calculations
Your Wallet ROI only tracks transactions that occur on the Digital Surge platform.
Once your crypto leaves your account (via withdrawal), we can no longer track its performance. Meaning any gains or losses made while the coin is outside the platform won’t be reflected in your ROI when it’s deposited back in.
Deposits and withdrawals are recorded at their AUD value at the time of the transaction.
Withdrawals are treated the same as sells in the ROI calculation.
Example: How Withdrawals and Deposits Affect ROI
Let’s say you:
Buy $1,000 of Bitcoin, and it drops 20% in value.
A few weeks later, you decide to withdraw $500 of your now $800 Bitcoin balance to an external wallet.
Digital Surge treats this withdrawal as you selling $500 of Bitcoin at a 20% loss, and that loss is reflected in your Total Return.
In your external wallet, Bitcoin's value triples over the next few weeks.
You deposit the now $1,500 of Bitcoin back into your Digital Surge wallet.
At this point, your ROI will not reflect the gain made while the Bitcoin was outside your DS wallet. The deposit is recorded at the AUD value at the time it is re-entered into the platform. You’ll still see a negative ROI, based on the original loss from when you withdrew.
Can I Reset My Total Return?
Yes — your Total Return resets automatically when your wallet balance for a coin reaches zero.
You can do this by either:
Selling your entire balance of that coin, or
Withdrawing the entire amount from your wallet
Once the balance hits zero, the next time you buy or deposit that coin, your ROI calculation will start fresh from that point.
There are many reasons you might want to reset your ROI — for example, if you want to start tracking a coin’s performance from scratch after a long period of trading.
If you want to sell most of a coin but continue tracking both the unrealised and realised gains/losses of that asset, just leave a small amount in your wallet. The ROI will only reset when your balance reaches exactly zero.
