Talking to Bizz Buzz, Rajagopal Menon, V-P (marketing), WazirX said: "In every market, investors need to analyze the performance of their investments frequently to decide their next move. This is more crucial when the asset is highly volatile - like crypto. We understand that these calculations can be cumbersome when done manually; thus, we have introduced the much-anticipated P&L feature. This feature works on simple math to derive the average buy price (ABP), invested value, and unrealized P&L (Profit & Loss) of the selected coin/token."

To make informed decisions, users can use these metrics as the starting point. Furthermore, this feature also considers referral and other rewards, contest winnings, crypto withdrawals, and penalties while presenting the calculations, he said.
