The green digits are staking. The red number is the trade. Do not add them.

My money puts a staking receipt and an open swap on the same list because both are value. They do not move for the same reason, and only one of them is a position you can close with Close trade.

Green
A staking receipt
Red
Mark minus what you paid
Other
Dust under 5 MON

The list is sorted by size, largest first, and that is the only thing the rows have in common. An aprMON line of 3,532 MON with eight green digits ticking upward is a staking receipt accruing at a measured rate. A WBTC line of −0.19 MON in red is a swap that cost 50 MON and is marked near 49.81. Adding the green to the red does not produce a portfolio result. They are different contracts, different clocks, and different exits.

What the green digits are doing

Between chain reads, a staking row moves at the rate this desk last measured for that receipt: aprMON, sMON or gMON. The rate is a slope, MON per second, from the change in the receipt’s value over a window, not a quoted APR from a homepage. The digits are the slope times the time since the last read. When the next read arrives, the row snaps to the chain. If the chain is lower, the lower figure wins. The animation is not allowed to invent a balance the contract does not have.

A rate near 9 percent a year on a 3,500 MON receipt is on the order of 0.9 MON a day, which is why the later digits move and the MON in front of the decimal does not, on the scale of a minute. If the front of the number jumps, that was a new read or a new deposit, not the slope. The slope cannot move thousands of MON between two blocks.

Green is a receipt getting heavier. Red is a coin you already bought, marked against what you paid.

What the red number is doing

The velocity line is back minus spent. Spent is what you signed in. Back is the pool’s mark for the tokens the fill recorded, in the coin you paid, usually MON. −0.1938 MON on 50 MON is −0.39 percent, and the card should say something very near that. If the big type and the percent disagree by a lot, the token count in the notebook is wrong and the percent is the figure to doubt until you have re-read the pool. The close sells the tokens. It does not sell the red number. The red number is the reason you might want to.

The small green digits on a red P&L are a short-term rate of that mark, used so the line can move between pool reads. A one-tick jump larger than the market is a corrected count, and it should not be treated as a speed. Trust the back amount printed under the big type. That is the working price of the close.

Other, unpriced, and spare MON

Other is the priced dust under the large-position floor, about 5 MON, gathered so the rows still add up to the chain total. A 3.01 MON Other line is real and small. It is not a hidden 50 MON trade. Unpriced items are tokens or pool shares the desk could not turn into MON. They are left out of the total on purpose, and the note says how many. They are still in the wallet. An unpriced WBTC balance is a position even when it has no card. Spare MON is the native coin that is not staked and not in a trade. It is named in the note and kept out of the headline so a gas balance is not dressed up as a strategy.

Which button belongs to which row

Close trade belongs to a velocity card and to nothing else. It will not unstake gMON. Withdraw all funds, lower down, is a different and larger act. Withdraw profit, on the Velocity screen, only moves surplus MON off the trading key. Adding money stakes or funds. If you came to exit a swap, the row you want has the word Velocity on it and a back amount in MON. If a staking row is what you want to leave, use the staking exit for that receipt. The queue there is measured in hours, and the chain’s 600 milliseconds will not shorten it.
