Concept: Portfolio and Position

Position

A position is the state of one instrument (for example BTC or ETH) at a given time.

Core position values include:

  • Total quantity held
  • Average acquisition price
  • Cost basis
  • Market value
  • ROI
  • Unrealized gains/losses (UGL)
  • Realized gains/losses (RGL)
  • Weight in portfolio

Portfolio

A portfolio snapshot aggregates all user positions at a timestamp.

Core portfolio values include:

  • Total market value
  • Cost basis
  • Unrealized PnL (UPL)
  • ROI
  • Number of transactions included
  • Instrument distribution (top instruments + Others)
  • Category distribution (Bitcoin, Stable, Memes, DeFi, Other)

Position distribution by connexion

For one instrument, Glacez can show distribution across connexions (exchange accounts and wallets). This helps users answer: "Where exactly is this asset currently held?"

Coherence checks

Before certain transaction operations, Glacez validates portfolio coherence:

  • Add operation
  • Update operation
  • Delete operation

If an operation would create an impossible state (for example negative holdings), it is rejected with coherence details.
