When viewing your token balances in Phantom wallet, you may notice a red or green number displayed under each token—the green number is the profit and the red number is the loss—hence, P&L. This number represents how much your balance changed against the price of the token during a 24-hour duration. For example, if you see a 4% increase or decrease in the token price, your token balance will reflect a 4% increase or decrease.
What do the green and red numbers mean?
- Green Number (+) → Your token’s value has increased over the past 24 hours.
- Red Number (-) → Your token’s value has decreased over the past 24 hours.
This provides a quick way to track short-term performance without needing to check external price charts.
How the P&L calculator works
- The percentage change reflects the token's price fluctuation within a rolling 24-hour period.
- Every day at reset, the calculation restarts, meaning your P&L value may change even if you haven’t made any new trades.
- This feature does not account for total historical profits or losses—it only tracks daily movement.
