1. Why a Unified Portfolio Dashboard Matters

As a crypto trader or HODLer, you might hold assets across:

• Multiple self-custodial wallets (Ledger, MetaMask, Trust Wallet)
• Centralized exchanges (Binance, Coinbase, Kraken)
• Decentralized platforms (Uniswap, Aave, Yearn)

Manually checking each balance, subtracting your cost basis, and calculating returns in a spreadsheet is time-consuming and error-prone. A unified dashboard automatically:

• Combines multiple data sources into one P&L summary
• Visualizes asset allocation so you immediately see concentration risk
• Tracks real-time market valuations without logging into each platform
• Generates shareable reports and charts for presentations or social media

By centralizing this data, you spend less time crunching numbers and more time refining your strategy.

2. Key Features of Our Portfolio Tracker Tool

1. Address & Exchange Integration:
   • Add any public wallet address (Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Avalanche, etc.)
   • Connect read-only API keys for major exchanges (Binance, Coinbase Pro, Kraken)
   • Supports DeFi protocols to pull staking and farming positions
2. Real-Time Valuations:
   • Prices are fetched every minute from top liquidity sources
   • Your dashboard shows up-to-the-second USD (or your chosen fiat) valuations
3. Interactive Pie Charts:
   • Allocation Chart: Displays each coin’s percentage of total portfolio value
   • Performance Chart: Visualizes profit vs. loss by asset or by time period
   • Hover interactions reveal exact dollar amounts and percentage changes
4. Detailed Coin Breakdown:
   • For each token, see:
     • Quantity held
     • Average cost basis (if imported)
     • Total market value
     • Unrealized gain/loss
   • Filter by “Top Gainers,” “Top Losers,” or “By Market Cap”
5. Profit & Loss Over Time:
   • View a time-series graph of portfolio value
   • Compare performance against benchmarks (e.g., BTC, ETH index)
   • Spot drawdowns and peak periods at a glance
6. Custom Labels & Notes:
   • Assign custom names to addresses (e.g., “Main Wallet,” “Exchange Savings”)
   • Add text notes per coin or per wallet to record strategy, rationale, or tax events
7. Export & Share:
   • Download CSV or PDF reports of current holdings and historical graphs
   • Generate a snapshot URL to share your portfolio overview with colleagues or social feeds (read-only)

3. Step-by-Step: Adding Wallet & Exchange Addresses

Step 1: Navigate to Portfolio Tracker from the main menu
Step 2: Click “Add New Address”

• For on-chain wallets, paste your public address (e.g., 0xABC123…)
• For exchange accounts, enter your read-only API key (no withdrawal rights)

Step 3: Assign a Custom Label (e.g., “Main Trading Wallet”)
Step 4: Select the Connection Type: Wallet or Exchange
Step 5: Enter the Wallet Address or API Key, then click “Add Connection”

Once added, the system scans the address, fetches balances, and displays holdings in your dashboard.

4. Interpreting Pie Charts & Coin Breakdowns

Allocation Pie Chart

• Slice Size = % of Total Portfolio Value
• Primary colors for top 5 assets; grayscale for tokens under 2%
• Hover Tooltip: Shows coin name, exact USD value, and percentage

Performance Pie Chart

• Green Slices = Profitable Positions
• Red Slices = Positions at a Loss
• Click a slice to drill down: view percentage return and cost basis vs. current price

Coin Table Breakdown

Use the table headers to sort top gainers, largest holdings, or biggest drawdowns.

5. Managing Profit & Loss Over Time

Your P/L Time-Series Graph tracks your portfolio’s USD value across days, weeks, and months:

• Select Timeframe: 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, year-to-date, or custom range
• Benchmark Overlay: Toggle on BTC or ETH price line to compare your returns to market performance
• Drawdown Marker: Automated markers show the worst peak-to-trough drops for risk awareness

This historical context helps you identify:

• When you should have taken profits
• Periods of high volatility when you were overexposed
• How new additions (e.g., an airdrop) shifted portfolio performance

6. Advanced Tips: Custom Labels & Alerts

• Labeling:
  • Assign “Retirement Fund,” “Day Trading,” or “DeFi Yield” tags to addresses
  • Group similar wallets (e.g., all Layer-1 staking) for sector analysis
• Price & Performance Alerts:
  • Set a Threshold Alert (e.g., notify me if Ethereum drops 10% in 24h)
  • P/L Alerts: Notify when a specific coin reaches +15% or –5%
  • Alerts delivered via email or in-app notifications, so you don’t miss critical moves
• Watchlist Watch-Through:
  • Track up to 5 coins you’re not yet holding—see how adding them would impact overall allocation instantly

7. Security & Privacy You Can Trust

• Read-Only Integration:
  • We never ask for withdrawal permissions. API keys only fetch balances and trades.
• Encrypted Storage:
  • All wallet addresses and API keys are stored with industry-standard AES-256 encryption.
• GDPR & Privacy Compliance:
  • We don’t share your data with third parties. You own your data; you can delete addresses at any time.
• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):
  • Protect your account with Google Authenticator or Authy to prevent unauthorized logins.

Our goal is to provide maximum transparency—no hidden fees, no surprise data sharing.
