Average Purchase Prices

Possible problems and solutions

• My purchase value is negative:
  Your purchase value can actually be negative if you've already made so much profit that you can't make a loss. Example: You buy 1,000,000 DVC for $100. 1 week later, 1,000,000 DVC is now worth $400. You sell the half for $200. You've made $100 profit and still have 500,000 DVC left. In this case, your purchase value is negative because you have gained more than your initial purchase. Even if the DVC price falls to 0, you can't be at a loss. You will always come out with a gain of $100 minimum.
• My values here do not match the Realized and Unrealized Gains:
  In contrast to the (un)realized gains calculation, all purchases and sales are added here together to calculate an average value per coin.
  Since it is a different calculation, the results may differ.
  For a better overview, it may be helpful to display purchases and sales separately.
• My values seem incorrect:
  It is imperative that all purchases and sales are entered correctly and completely in CoinTracking. If purchased coins are missing, this will lead to warnings and incorrect values for all gains calculations! (read more).
