Title: HELP PLEASE - with maths? How do i keep average of what i am paying for BTC??
Post by: Dragonizer on April 19, 2019, 08:39:24 AM
Hi All

This is confusing me as i can't seem to grasp how i can keep and average of what i am paying for BTC??

I want to keep track of the amount of BTC i purchase (easy) and also the average price i paid per BTC..

My thinking for example was as below but it's not correct..lol

Purchase BTC

0.5 BTC for £3453
0.7 BTC for £3561
0.1 BTC for £7000

Therefore

1.3 BTC for £14,014

£14014/1.3= 1 BTC for £10,780 or £10,780/BTC   

Is this correct?

If i sold ANYTHING upto 1.3BTC above £10,780/BTC i would be in profit??

Am i doing this correct? Or should i be using the exchange rate when purchasing??

I basically want to purchase small amounts and then do on large sell for profit...

Confused..

Cheers

0.5 BTC + 0.7 BTC + 0.1 BTC = 1.3 BTC

£3453 + £3561 + £7000 = £14014

£14014/1.3 = £10780 so the math is correct.

Did you really pay £7000 for 0.1 BTC?  If so you got ripped off royally - that is £70000 PER BTC.

I expect you actually bought 1.0 BTC for £7000, right?

Then you have:

0.5 BTC + 0.7 BTC + 1.0 BTC = 2.2 BTC

£3453 + £3561 + £7000 = £14014

£14014/2.2 = £6370 per BTC

You will profit if you sell above £6370 per BTC

EDIT: fixed typo

'0.5 BTC + 0.7 BTC + 0.1 BTC = 1.3 BTC

£3453 + £3561 + £7000 = £14014

£14014/1.3 = £14014 so the math is correct.'


BUT

£14014/1.3 = £10780/BTC average....



The figures were just random as i was typing mate...
