Portfolio Value Matters

I tend to ignore PV but there are times when a sell off presents gains in relation to PV that the operator may find acceptable and can result in a subsequent bump in BlueCollar's performance capacity.

Profit Taking Scenario

Trading begins with $5,000 for example. Over some period of time the price of the crypto is down 5% from where trading started, but PV is up 9% to $5,400. Part of PV's value is the market price of the quantities tied up in BlueCollar's pending sells. In order to realize the 9% increase, the pending sells would need to be sold for a loss.

Nearly 9% in a down market might be good enough for the operator given the time frame. They could pocket the gains and start the next cycle with the same amount of funds as the previous one, and reenter the market at a lower price point. All other factors being equal performance improves the lower the price of the crypto being trading. Performance is also better with more funds so it could make sense to give the gains to the trader before starting it up again.

More funds and a lower price is a double win in terms of performance capacity, so keeping one eye on PV is important in order to know when those opportunities present themselves. Automated this type of profit taking would be a nice touch.
