Slippage: Price impact of trades

            

Data Sources

On-Chain Data: Blockchain transaction data
Protocol Analytics: Platform-specific metrics
Price Feeds: Real-time price and market data
Oracle Data: External data sources

Portfolio Performance Tracking

Monitor and analyze your DeFi portfolio performance across multiple protocols.

Performance Calculation

// Portfolio performance tracking
class PortfolioTracker {
    constructor() {
        this.positions = new Map();
        this.snapshots = [];
        this.benchmarks = new Map();
    }

    addPosition(protocol, token, amount, entryPrice) {
        const position = {
            protocol,
            token,
            amount,
            entryPrice,
            currentPrice: entryPrice,
            entryTime: Date.now(),
            fees: 0,
            rewards: 0
        };

        this.positions.set(`${protocol}-${token}`, position);
    }

    updatePrices(priceData) {
        for (const [key, position] of this.positions) {
            if (priceData[position.token]) {
                position.currentPrice = priceData[position.token];
            }
        }

        this.takeSnapshot();
    }

    calculatePerformance() {
        let totalValue = 0;
        let totalCost = 0;
        let totalFees = 0;
        let totalRewards = 0;

        for (const [key, position] of this.positions) {
            const currentValue = position.amount * position.currentPrice;
            const costBasis = position.amount * position.entryPrice;

            totalValue += currentValue;
            totalCost += costBasis;
            totalFees += position.fees;
            totalRewards += position.rewards;
        }

        const totalReturn = totalValue - totalCost;
        const totalReturnPercent = (totalReturn / totalCost) * 100;

        return {
            totalValue,
            totalCost,
            totalReturn,
            totalReturnPercent,
            totalFees,
            totalRewards,
            positions: Array.from(this.positions.values())
        };
    }

    takeSnapshot() {
        const performance = this.calculatePerformance();
        this.snapshots.push({
            timestamp: Date.now(),
            ...performance
        });
    }
}

Sharpe Ratio: Risk-adjusted returns
Maximum Drawdown: Largest peak-to-trough decline
Value at Risk (VaR): Potential loss estimation
Beta: Market correlation measurement

Yield Farming Analytics

Track and optimize yield farming strategies across multiple protocols.

// Advanced yield farming analytics
class YieldAnalyzer {
    constructor() {
        this.farms = new Map();
        this.rewards = new Map();
        this.impermanentLoss = new Map();
    }

    addFarm(farmId, tokenA, tokenB, poolShare, dailyRewards) {
        this.farms.set(farmId, {
            tokenA,
            tokenB,
            poolShare,
            dailyRewards,
            startTime: Date.now(),
            harvestedRewards: 0
        });
    }

    calculateAPY(farmId, tokenPrices) {
        const farm = this.farms.get(farmId);
        if (!farm) return 0;

        const dailyRewardValue = farm.dailyRewards * tokenPrices.rewardToken;
        const positionValue = farm.poolShare * (
            farm.tokenA.amount * tokenPrices[farm.tokenA.symbol] +
            farm.tokenB.amount * tokenPrices[farm.tokenB.symbol]
        );

        const dailyYield = dailyRewardValue / positionValue;
        const apy = (Math.pow(1 + dailyYield, 365) - 1) * 100;

        return apy;
    }

    calculateImpermanentLoss(farmId, priceData) {
        const farm = this.farms.get(farmId);
        const priceRatio = priceData[farm.tokenB] / priceData[farm.tokenA];
        const initialRatio = farm.tokenA.initialPrice / farm.tokenB.initialPrice;

        const ratioChange = priceRatio / initialRatio;
        const il = 2 * Math.sqrt(ratioChange) / (1 + ratioChange) - 1;

        this.impermanentLoss.set(farmId, il * 100); // Convert to percentage
        return il * 100;
    }

    getOptimalRebalancing(farmId) {
        const farm = this.farms.get(farmId);
        const il = this.impermanentLoss.get(farmId) || 0;
        const apy = this.calculateAPY(farmId);

        // Rebalance if IL exceeds 50% of APY
        return Math.abs(il) > (apy * 0.5);
    }
}

        this.volumeHistory = [];
    }

    analyzePool(poolAddress, tokenA, tokenB, reservesA, reservesB) {
        const pool = {
            address: poolAddress,
            tokenA: { symbol: tokenA, reserve: reservesA },
            tokenB: { symbol: tokenB, reserve: reservesB },
            k: reservesA * reservesB, // Constant product
            price: reservesB / reservesA,
            liquidity: Math.sqrt(reservesA * reservesB)
        };

        this.pools.set(poolAddress, pool);
        return this.calculatePoolMetrics(pool);
    }

    calculatePoolMetrics(pool) {
        // Price impact calculation
        const priceImpact = (amount) => {
            const newReserveA = pool.tokenA.reserve + amount;
            const newReserveB = pool.k / newReserveA;
            const newPrice = newReserveB / newReserveA;
            const impact = Math.abs(newPrice - pool.price) / pool.price;
            return impact * 100;
        };

        // Slippage calculation
        const slippage = (amount) => {
            const expectedOut = (amount * pool.tokenB.reserve) / pool.tokenA.reserve;
            const actualOut = pool.tokenB.reserve - (pool.k / (pool.tokenA.reserve + amount));
            return ((expectedOut - actualOut) / expectedOut) * 100;
        };

        // Liquidity depth
        const depth = Math.min(
            pool.tokenA.reserve * pool.price * 0.01, // 1% price movement capacity
            pool.tokenB.reserve * 0.01
        );

        return {
            priceImpact,
            slippage,
            depth,
            efficiency: this.calculateEfficiency(pool)
        };
    }

    calculateEfficiency(pool) {
        // Measure how close to optimal the pool is
        const volume = this.getVolume(pool.address);
        const optimalVolume = pool.liquidity * 0.1; // 10% daily volume is optimal

        return Math.min(volume / optimalVolume, 1) * 100;
    }
}

        const sortedReturns = returns.sort((a, b) => a - b);
        const index = Math.floor((1 - confidence) * sortedReturns.length);
        const var95 = sortedReturns[index];

        // Scale for time horizon (assuming daily returns)
        const scaledVaR = var95 * Math.sqrt(timeHorizon);

        return scaledVaR * -1; // Return as positive loss amount
    }

    calculateSharpeRatio(portfolio, riskFreeRate = 0.02) {

        const avgReturn = returns.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0) / returns.length;
        const volatility = this.calculateVolatility(returns);

        return (avgReturn - riskFreeRate) / volatility;
    }

            const drawdown = (peak - value) / peak;
            maxDrawdown = Math.max(maxDrawdown, drawdown);
        }

        return maxDrawdown * 100; // Return as percentage
    }

    updateCorrelations() {
        const assets = [...new Set(this.portfolio.map(p => p.asset))];

        for (const assetA of assets) {
            for (const assetB of assets) {
                const correlation = this.calculateCorrelation(assetA, assetB);
                this.correlationMatrix.set(`${assetA}-${assetB}`, correlation);
            }
        }
    }
