Question 1

How does the Sharpe ratio work on PythFeeds?

Accepted Answer

Sharpe = (mean daily return − risk-free rate) / std-dev of daily returns, annualized by √365. Higher Sharpe means better risk-adjusted return. PythFeeds computes this from your portfolio value time series once you have at least 14 days of history.

Question 2

What is max drawdown?

Accepted Answer

Max drawdown is the largest peak-to-trough decline in your portfolio value, expressed as a percentage. A −30% drawdown means at its worst your portfolio was 30% below its prior peak. It measures the worst single losing streak.

Question 3

How does the BTC benchmark comparison work?

Accepted Answer

PythFeeds overlays a hypothetical 'buy and hold BTC' (or ETH) line scaled to your initial portfolio value. This answers the question: would you have done better just holding BTC?

Question 4

Do I have to connect a wallet?

Accepted Answer

No. You can use the paper portfolio to practice with a virtual balance. When you're ready, connect a Solana wallet and PythFeeds reads on-chain holdings — it never sends transactions without your explicit approval.

Question 5

Is my wallet data sent to a server?

Accepted Answer

Wallet addresses are read-only. Price data is fetched from Pyth Hermes and token metadata from public RPC. PythFeeds does not custody funds and does not require signup.
