How do I know how much profit I make after a coin's value go up?

[quickie69]

So confused how to calculate? 
Let's say I invested $100 in a coin that is worth 0.10. Next day, the value goes up to 0.15. does that I made $5 profit from my $100 investment? I don't know how to calculate??  sorry I know it's a stupid question..

Are you serious? 
No, that would mean you just made 50% ($50) on your investment. And yes, this is not crazy, this IS CRYPTO!!!!!!!!!!!

Use this calculation:

[Money I have now] = [Money I have invested] * [Coin/token value now] / [Coin/token value when I bought]

Do not use market cap for your calculation - the amount of coins/tokens in circulation may change over time.

Lets say you buy "A "coin with price 1 coin : $100 in BTC
and then after 3 days . "A" coin in alot market price 1 A Coin : $127 in BTC 

so you buy 1 coin at $100 . and then it increase to $127 . so total profit you made ?
$27 .

i think its simple math .

Please learn some math before investing  but you can still make money doing wrong buy and sell orders because most people make more money if they randomly trade

Wow - that is really a beginner question. Easiest way would be to use an app like blockfolio that automatically calculaltes your profits or losses.

I think if this is the case. Problems with basic math.. the guy shouldn't be investing in the first place, best way to loose all your money, definitely.
