How your returns are calculated and paid out

Your returns accrue daily into the value of your position (its "current value"), not directly into your spendable balance. Each day the engine adds roughly APY ÷ 365 of the position's value, with a small performance variance tied to the agent's win rate, and records it as an EARNING entry in your transaction history. Because gains compound on the position's growing value, the current value rises a little every day.

Crucially, daily earnings are not paid to your balance as they accrue — that would double-count them. The full current value (your principal plus all accrued profit) is credited to your balance once, when you cash out the position and its scheduled payout date arrives. You can watch profit build in real time under Dashboard → Portfolio, where each position shows its current value and profit/loss.
