In Pionex Infinity Grid, profit from fluctuation means Grid Profit from completed buy-and-sell cycles. Profit from price increment plus fluctuation adds the unrealized gain or loss on the asset still held, giving the broader Total Profit view.
The two modes answer different questions
| Old display wording | Profit component | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Profit from fluctuation only | Grid Profit from completed cycles | Does not show the full effect of the held asset’s price |
| Price increment + fluctuation | Grid Profit plus unrealized profit or loss | Includes a value that changes until the position is settled |
How Pionex defines the components
Pionex’s Infinity Grid documentation states that Total Profit equals Grid Profit plus unrealized profit. Grid Profit comes from completed arbitrage cycles. Unrealized profit is based on the current price, average buying price and amount of coin held.
Positive Grid Profit can hide a loss
If the held asset falls enough, its unrealized loss can exceed completed Grid Profit. The fluctuation-only figure can therefore stay positive while Total Profit is negative.

Frequently asked questions
What does Profit from fluctuation mean in Infinity Grid?
It refers to Grid Profit from completed buy-low and sell-high cycles, after the product’s applicable calculation and trading fees.
What does Profit from price increment plus fluctuation mean?
It combines Grid Profit with the unrealized gain or loss on the base asset still held by the bot, which is the broader Total Profit view.
Is price increment profit already realized?
Not while it remains an unrealized change in the held asset’s value. The realized result depends on how and when the position is closed or converted.
Can Grid Profit be positive while Total Profit is negative?
Yes. A decline in the held asset can create an unrealized loss larger than the profit from completed grid cycles.
Why can the two profit modes move differently?
Grid Profit changes when cycles complete, while unrealized profit changes with the current asset price, average buying price and amount held.
Does switching the display mode change how the bot trades?
The old labels described how profit was displayed, not a separate trading strategy. Check the current interface because labels and controls can change.
Which figure should you use to judge the bot?
Review Grid Profit, unrealized profit, Total Profit, asset holdings, runtime, fees and the closing preview together rather than relying on one percentage.
Grid Profit does not guarantee a positive Total Profit. Crypto prices can fall and automated strategies can lose money.
