Hi all, we know there is a “Total Cost” in dashboard for each coin, but I don’t get it how this total cost calculated. I tried to sum up all cost-basis for a coin for every exchange trx (no selling yet), but the sum is not the same with total cost. How does this total cost came up? ---

I would also like this additional display enhancement. ---

I too would like to see an explanation on the dashboard where this comes from. ---
