Bybit Arbitrage is a trading tool that simplifies arbitrage trading by capitalizing on funding rate and price differences.

If you're seeking consistent returns with minimal risk, Bybit Arbitrage is the perfect ally.

 This robust tool empowers you to generate regular profits with minimal risks by capitalizing on price disparities across different markets. Its user-friendly interface lets you easily spot and exploit these differences, so that you can execute flawless arbitrage trading in the crypto market with confidence. Read on to learn how Bybit Arbitrage makes arbitrage trading an effortless way for you to achieve low-risk gains.

 is the buying and selling of the same or similar asset(s) at the same time across different markets to earn from slight price deviations. This act of purchasing an asset at a fixed price — while simultaneously selling it at a higher price — allows a trader to instantly make profits without any risks. 

While arbitrage trading has long been a staple in traditional financial markets, such as stock and forex, the advent of crypto trading has propelled arbitrage trading to new heights — thanks to the heightened volatility of the crypto market. Additionally, unlike traditional stock markets, crypto markets are traded 24/7, offering more opportunities for arbitrage traders to reap profits from the price gaps across exchanges and markets. 

 across exchanges or within a single exchange. Keep in mind that if you opt to arbitrage trade across different platforms, accessing your profits may prove to be complex, due to the need to transfer your assets between the exchanges, which can take up to several days to complete. On the other hand, arbitrage trading on a single platform is more straightforward — but more competitive as well.

There are multiple arbitrage trading strategies, but the most common ones in the crypto market include funding rates arbitrage, spot-futures arbitrage and futures arbitrage. 

Funding rates arbitrage allows traders to profit from variations in funding rates between 

 contracts. In contrast, spot-futures arbitrage enables traders to profit from price disparities between the spot and 

 for the same asset. Meanwhile, futures arbitrage involves profiting from price discrepancies between futures contracts with different expiration dates.

Bybit Arbitrage is a trading tool that helps traders identify arbitrage trading opportunities in two ways: funding rate and spread. 

The user-friendly interface organizes trading pairs based on either funding rates or spreads in different markets, so that traders can easily spot disparities in funding rate or price across the markets at a glance. 

Bybit Arbitrage is exclusively available to 

 mode. It facilitates arbitrage trading for USDT Perpetual, USDC Perpetual and USDC Futures contracts, thereby allowing you to enjoy arbitrage trading opportunities between USDT 

Spot pairs and USDT Perpetual pairs, or USDC Spot pairs and USDC Perpetual/Futures pairs. 

The Funding Rate Arbitrage feature exploits differences in funding rates between the Spot and Perpetual/Futures markets on the Bybit exchange. With the Funding Rate feature, traders can earn funding fees while simultaneously managing their positions in order to minimize potential losses and maximize gains through positive and negative arbitrage strategies.

Funding rates for the different trading pairs are listed in descending order. This helps traders to easily leverage the interest rate differential between Spot and Perpetual/Futures contracts.

The Funding Rate feature also allows you to 

 orders (with the same amount, but in different directions) in both Spot and Perpetual/Futures, which enables you to earn funding fees while mitigating potential losses (with potential gains).

holders in Futures/Perpetual contracts pay short position holders. You can leverage this situation by executing a positive arbitrage, which involves

 buying a Spot pair and taking a short position in 

Perpetual to earn steady funding fees. Alternatively, if the funding fee is negative, short position holders pay long position holders. In this case, you would perform a negative arbitrage by shorting a Spot pair and going long in a 

The Spread Arbitrage feature helps traders capitalize on price discrepancies between different markets for the same cryptocurrency asset. With this feature, you can easily compare the market prices of an asset traded across various trading pairs and contracts. While Spread Arbitrage may be similar to spot-futures arbitrage, it offers more arbitrage opportunities since it covers a broader range of markets, unlike spot-futures arbitrage, which targets specific markets

With Spread Arbitrage, the aim is to profit from the eventual price convergence as you buy the crypto asset at a lower price in one market (e.g., Spot) and sell it at a higher price in another market (e.g., Futures). 

As the futures price will eventually align with the Spot price when the contract expires, you’ll be able to take advantage of the simultaneous price disparity for the same asset.

In order to trade with Bybit Arbitrage, you’ll first need to

Bybit Dual Asset Mining is a non-principal protected investment product with floating returns. Users who deposited crypto can earn an enhanced yield. Learn more.

Dual Asset is a short-term speculation vehicle that lets you capitalize on small price movements in the market. All you have to do is predict the direction of a given crypto asset, such as BTC, ETH or MNT, within a preset time frame. Upon maturity, your returns will be in the form of either USDT or your chosen crypto asset, depending on the outcome of your trade.

Bybit Dual Asset 2.0 is an enhanced version of the predecessor focusing on higher returns on capital for traders with better investment flexibility. Traders could customize their orders by entering different directions of the market trend based on their predictions to enjoy high-interest yields even if the predicted asset price did not trigger.  

Understanding Buy Low, Sell High on Bybit Dual Asset 2.0

 function on Bybit Dual Asset 2.0 refers to a product subscription in which traders anticipate the chosen digital asset to settle at a low targeted price at a predetermined time range. Here’s a user case scenario to help to visualize the product function: 

Alex chooses to buy BTC/USDT Dual Asset, and he will be using USDT as an underlying asset for the subscription to buy BTC at his desired lower crypto price. The yields vary depending on the settlement date, which ranges from 1 to 5 days. Assuming Alex opts for a 1-day subscription with 110% yields in APY, he is entitled to claim rewards in two different scenarios: 

 When the asset target price is reached  

, he will successfully purchase BTC at his desired price with his subscribed USDT and interest income.

His returns will be calculated with the formula provided below: 

 (Subscription Amount + Interest) / Target Price 

 Subscription Amount x APY x Subscription Period (in days)/365 

1,000 + ( 1,000 × 110% × 1/365) / 21,000 = 0.04776 BTC

Assuming the BTC price is $23,000 when cash out, Alex’s gross return on investment for the chosen Dual Asset subscription would be $1,098.48. 

 When the asset target price fails to reach  

, the target crypto will fail to be purchased, and you’ll receive your subscription amount and interest income in USDT.

Assuming the settlement price is higher than the target asset price, settling at $21,500. Alex’s return on investment will be calculated as below: 

1,000 + (1,000 × 110% × 1/365) = 1,003.0137 USDT

Even though Alex failed to purchase BTC at his desired price, he still earned rewards on his contributed USDT in the Dual Asset pool. It is still a win-win situation for Alex, as he did not lose any money for opportunity costs. 

: In both cases, Alex will still earn interest on his investment in the form of USDT. 

, in which traders anticipate selling the chosen digital assets at a higher targeted price within a predetermined date. Here’s a user case scenario to help to visualize the product function: 

Alex chooses to sell BTC/USDT Dual Asset, and he will be using USDT as an underlying asset for the subscription to sell BTC at his desired crypto price at a higher anticipated price. The yields vary depending on the settlement date, which ranges from 1 to 7 days. Assuming Alex opts for a 1-day subscription with 150% yields in APY, he is entitled to claim rewards in two different scenarios: 

 When the asset target price of $24,000 is reached  

, he will successfully sell his BTC at his desired price and receive USDT in return.

 (Subscription Amount + Interest) x Target Price

Assuming the settlement price is higher than the target asset price, settling at $24,000. Alex’s return on investment will be calculated as below: 

1 + (1 × 150% × 1/365) × 24,000 = $98.6301

Alex’s return on investment would be a total of 24,098.6301 USDT, including his capital of 24,000 USDT and the yields. 

 When the asset target price failed to reach, settling at $23,000. 

, he fails to sell his crypto at the target price and will receive yields in BTC as a return. 

When converting 1.0041 BTC to USDT at $23,00 per BTC, Alex will receive 23,094.30 USDT, including the yields.

Understanding the Post-ETF & Post-Halving Landscape: Challenges and Opportunities

 in early 2024, along with the April 11, 2024 

 have painted a complex canvas for 2024. Lennix Lai highlighted the new post-ETF market dynamics in his introduction, emphasizing the influx of traditional capital and varied market participants. The uncertainty of post-halving effects, as well as their interplay with broader economic factors, also present a complex scenario. Lai noted, "Halving was more impactful in the early stages. Now, we must consider macroeconomics as well."

Hao delved into the specifics of market supply-and-demand influences, stating that the introduction of a Bitcoin Spot ETF has certainly “opened up the floodgates to institutional money,” which traditionally hasn’t been as involved in crypto. This new demand has driven up prices. However, the halving also cuts supply significantly, even though its impact lessens with each cycle (due to the finite nature of Bitcoin). He further explained that we're seeing a convergence of the total circulating supply toward the 

, which will naturally diminish the supply-side impact over time.

Croft commented on the strategic implications of these events, sharing that both the Bitcoin Spot ETFs and halving narratives have been major topics. While their immediate impacts might not stir significant volatility, BTC price action tends to follow a pattern over months following a halving in what is essentially a sophisticated market that likely has these factors priced in already. Croft emphasized the market's evolving sophistication: "Immediate impacts might be muted, but the long-term effects are worth noting. Historically, the period from halving to peak has extended, showing that the real impact unfolds over months."

Thompson synthesized their insights, concluding that while immediate market reaction may be subdued, underlying shifts in market fundamentals will likely drive significant change over the medium-to-long term.

Market Trends and Predictions: Insights Into the Current Bull Run

The panel then moved on to discuss the current bull run, emphasizing the reduced market volatility, which suggests a maturing market. Hao observed the trend toward market maturity: "As we witness diminishing volatility, it's indicative of a maturing market. This maturity suggests that cryptocurrencies are moving toward mainstream acceptance, making the market less volatile but still rich with opportunities for both retail and institutional investors."

Lai discussed the evolving demographics and behaviors of market participants. As the market matures, the correlation with traditional macroeconomic factors becomes more pronounced. This bull run isn’t just about speculative interest, as it’s being driven by more foundational changes in the market structure that include the effects of the halving and the influx of new institutional players.

"In the short term, Bitcoin behaves like a risky asset class, influenced by positive sentiments pre-halving," Lai said.

Thompson added, "It appears that market participants are reacting preemptively to these events, a behavior akin to front-running, which has historically proven to influence Bitcoin's price trajectory well before the halving actually occurs."

Croft added that the narrative around these market events often precedes actual price action: by the time we see movement, the market has already digested the news. What's compelling is how these narratives develop and run their course over time, shaping market behavior in less direct but profound ways.

Maximizing Market Performance for Crypto Users

Leveraging Derivatives and Options Markets for Enhanced Performance

The next segment discussed ways in which 

 might offer a viable dynamic to certain traders, and how that could impact the market.

, averring that options and derivatives are being used more strategically than ever. They're not just being used for hedging, but are integral to the investment strategies of various institutional players. This is a testament to the market's maturation and the sophistication of the products available. Croft noted, “We’re seeing lots of these guys come into our CFD products” [CFD products are similar to 

] … and these investors “look to go long or short in a particular basket or individual tokens and try to pick out the performers and underperformers.” 

When asked about his usage of the phrase “[basket of] tokens,” Croft clarified that he wasn’t talking about indexes, but rather about how “someone could come in and get ten tokens they want to go short on, and ten tokens they want to go long on, and we can execute that. So it’s those clients choosing those baskets themselves rather than the products being preset.” Croft shared that Wintermute recently launched a new index provider, 

, and is looking toward working with other exchanges to help provide comprehensive, reliable and accessible indices.

The Rise of Meme Coins in the Crypto Market

Lai then discussed the evolution of market products, commenting that as the market evolves, so too must our products. Derivatives and options markets are crucial for providing the flexibility and tools users need to navigate this complex environment.

Hao focused on the technical aspects, maintaining that the real challenges and opportunities lie in enhancing the robustness of these tools. As we develop more sophisticated trading derivatives and options, we're not just creating new investment opportunities — we're also setting the stage for a more resilient market.

Thompson concluded this segment: "Clearly, the role of advanced financial instruments like derivatives and options is becoming more central as the market grows in complexity and scale."

When asked to comment on meme coins, Hao said it’s a “social movement starting from Wall Street and GameStop” and that it’s a “way to get people together … It can be a force for good instead of a tool for speculation.” Hao then shared about Bybit’s new initiative, the 

, explaining that it could be used for a charity or fundraising, linking it to a meme coin that’s “naturally inspiring and easy for people to understand.” In this way, meme coins can “be a force for good, to raise a charity fund for cancer treatment” or other causes.

Croft agreed, sharing his perspective that as long as meme coins are “fully transparent” and the projects make it clear that they’re part of a social movement whose participants who believe in and buy in to the cause, he’s “all for crypto facilitating that.”

Lai commented that memes are a sort of collective, and that not all meme coins are going to be successful. While they may be easy to create, it’s difficult to collectively get consensus from any large group of people. 

, expressing support for it and emphasizing that RWAs are “the link between traditional finance and crypto. That’s the last mile before crypto can be a real financial system, a link to the real-world economy.” He concluded that it’s certainly something he would “bet big on,” especially with more RWAs now on-chain.

How Exchanges and Institutions Adapt to Changing Market Dynamics

Innovation in Exchange Offerings: New Products, Services and Trading Pairs

Lai discussed the continuous need for innovation in the crypto exchange space, saying that as market dynamics evolve, so too must our platforms, focusing not just on expanding product offerings but also on enhancing underlying technology. Decreasing system latency and improving resilience and the sophistication of 

 systems is critical to staying ahead in the fast-paced environment.

Hao emphasized the importance of reliability and scalability, asserting that the foundation of any successful exchange lies in the robustness of its trading systems. As Bybit introduces more complex products and services, our priority remains ensuring that our matching engine and order processing systems can handle increased volumes without compromise. This is crucial for maintaining trust and efficiency in our operations.

Croft highlighted the strategic role of liquidity in product innovation, elaborating that Wintermute is closely involved in the initial stages of product launches by providing liquidity. This collaboration is essential for the successful rollout of new offerings. The ability to support exchanges from day one with robust liquidity helps ensure that new products can find a stable market footing.

Thompson summed up the discussion, observing that the adaptation of exchanges to market changes isn’t just about technological advancements, but also about understanding and integrating the needs of diverse market participants. This approach helps in crafting services that truly meet the evolving demands of the crypto market.

Global Market Integration: Collaborations and Partnerships for Sustainable Growth

Hao envisions a future of deeper integration between crypto and traditional financial systems. He referred to his comment during the segment on real-world assets, elaborating that the last frontier for a mature crypto ecosystem is its integration with the real economy. Tokenizing RWAs and streamlining processes such as clearing and settlement through blockchain technologies are steps toward this integration. These innovations will make many traditional roles obsolete, dramatically improving efficiency.

Lai projects the mainstreaming of crypto in traditional finance: we’re at a turning point, in which cryptocurrency is being woven into the fabric of TradFi services. The integration of trading infrastructure, exchange products and custody solutions between crypto and TradFi is accelerating. This convergence suggests that crypto will soon be an indistinguishable part of the broader financial ecosystem.

 as a critical bridge between fiat and crypto economies. Their growth into yield-bearing and basis-trading instruments shows their potential to transform financial services. These instruments thus play a pivotal role in the integration of crypto markets with TradFi, ensuring liquidity and stability.

Thompson highlighted the importance of collaboration, pointing out that the future of crypto isn't just about technological innovation but also about strategic partnerships. Collaborations between liquidity providers, exchanges and possibly even decentralized platforms are key to creating a seamless, integrated market experience.

Strategies

In the green and want to lock in your gains? Make sure to quit while you're ahead with these crypto take-profit strategies.

, creating endless opportunities for buying, selling, and taking profits when the time is right. While there's no magic formula for timing the market and knowing when to take crypto profits and get out or when to stay put, there are several tips and strategies you can employ to maximize your gains when taking profits in crypto.

If you're thinking of taking your crypto profits, but aren't sure how or when to do it because you lack the right crypto profit taking strategy, we’ve got you covered. From when to sell your crypto to maximizing your gains, learning how to take your crypto profits is fundamental to your trading success.

Taking profits is the deliberate act of selling crypto or another security in an effort to lock in gains after a period of appreciation. Unlike HODLing, it often involves regular trading and market participation.

The HODL strategy for taking profits in crypto also leaves a heap of coins on the table. Even more than with stocks and other investments, coins go through a number of peaks and valleys before arriving at a particular price. Investors who know how and when to take crypto profits can take advantage of these rises and dips and increase their pot by a substantial amount of coin, while taking profits along the way.

In addition to earning regular income and growing your crypto portfolio, taking profits in crypto will also help you avoid some common HODL pitfalls — one of which is buying the tops. Many new HODL investors make the mistake of buying at the end of a trend, which means they have to suffer through some turbulent price corrections and watch their coin decrease by 25 percent or more. This psychological hurdle is tough to overcome.

Most HODLers also don't know how to take crypto profits when the time comes. Since they have little experience, and no solid crypto profit-taking strategy to follow, HODLers often buy and sell at the wrong time, diminishing their potential profits.

By following a proven crypto profit-taking strategy, and understanding how and when to take crypto profits by utilizing both fundamental and technical analysis, you can master the markets and profit handsomely from the volatility crypto has become famous for.

Pros and Cons of Taking Profits in Crypto

Cryptocurrency is wildly volatile. Unlike 

or stocks, double-digit gains (or losses) are a common occurrence. In fact, it's common to see your account jump up or down by two percent just minutes after hitting the buy or sell button. Taking profits in crypto by following a proven crypto profit-taking strategy will let you take advantage of these opportunities, and outpace a HODLer in no time at all.

Pros of taking profits in crypto are as follows:

• Earn revenue while growing crypto holdings

• Take advantage of every market condition

• Learn how to take crypto profits and become an expert trader

That said, taking profits in crypto can be challenging if you don't know how and when to take them. Fortunately, developing a strong crypto profit-taking strategy isn't very difficult once you understand support and resistance, Fibonacci levels, pivot points, and other key fundamentals of 

Without proper understanding of these trading basics, however, the odds of becoming a successful trader and being able to take profits are greatly reduced.

• Requires an understanding of technical analysis

• Must follow a proven crypto profit-taking strategy

Many newer crypto investors and traders have a hard time deciding when to take crypto profits. While knowing precisely when to enter and exit a trade largely comes down to understanding price charts and technical analysis, there are a few general signals to watch for.

Another good example of when to take crypto profits is when the price of Bitcoin or another crypto you're vested in stagnates and loses upward momentum. This usually leads to price consolidation, which should serve as a possible exit signal in your crypto profit-taking strategy. However, you should wait for confirmation from another indicator prior to placing a sell order.

Similar to a change in fundamentals, your crypto profit-taking strategy should also account for changing or uncertain macroeconomic conditions. Events such as wars, pandemics and recessions can have a significant effect on the stock, commodities, FX and crypto markets. Any of these can cause major market disruptions, and can give clear signals for when to take crypto profits rather than watch them disappear.

Deciding when to take crypto profits based on fundamentals or macroeconomic conditions is one thing, but determining exactly 

 to take crypto profits is quite another. Do you set a random take-profit after a certain percentage gain, or should your crypto profit-taking strategy involve taking profits in crypto at certain areas of resistance — or by utilizing 

 and Fibonacci levels? Smart traders use all of the above.

At some point, every trade has an exit. Entering a trade is easy, but where and how you exit determines how much you profit — or lose.

When taking profits in crypto, trades can be closed according to a crypto profit-taking strategy involving the use of trailing 

 and profit targets when specific conditions are met.

Depending on your crypto profit-taking strategy, the profit target can be a specific price target or a percentage-based target. Regardless, when the price of the crypto reaches a predetermined level, the trade can be closed either manually or automatically by entering a specific target profit during trade execution.

For example, if you purchase Bitcoin at $31,710 and have a profit target of two percent, you would place an order to sell at $32,344. If the price of Bitcoin reaches this target level, the trade is closed. In a nutshell, that's how to take crypto profits with price targets.

Taking profits in crypto with this crypto profit-taking strategy also allows you to calculate a risk/reward ratio prior to entering a trade. To do so, you need to enter a stop-loss, which should ideally represent less of a price change than your profit target. This way, the reward will outweigh the risk.

Although you can never know 100 percent whether a trade will be a winner or a loser, you'll be more likely to turn a profit when your reward is greater than your risk. For instance, if your average winning trade is $11 and your average losing trade is $6, you only need to win around 40 percent of your trades to earn an overall profit.

Taking profits in crypto by utilizing profit targets as part of your crypto profit-taking strategy also makes it possible to tell whether or not a trade will be worth taking. If the risk is greater than, equal to, or even not considerably less than the profit potential, then the trade isn't worth taking — and you should wait or move on to the next opportunity. In this way, determining a profit target can actually help you filter out poor trades.

Many traders use technical analysis to identify entry and exit points in order to maximize profit and minimize risk. While there are hundreds of technical indicators, chart patterns and tools you can use to analyze crypto charts and zero in on key entry and exit points, there are a few strategies in particular worth considering.

• Paying attention to areas of support and resistance

Anyone wondering how to take crypto profits who’s interested in regularly taking profits in crypto should master these three strategies.

, should be a part of any crypto profit-taking strategy. When looking at the price chart of any crypto in almost any time frame, you'll notice certain areas where upward momentum seems to halt. These are known as resistance areas. Conversely, you'll also see certain areas where downward momentum is stopped or reversed. These are known as areas of support.

Both areas are key. Whether you have an open buy order or sell order, keep your eye on these key areas and consider exiting the trade and taking profits in crypto whenever the price nears. While the price will break through either support or resistance if the momentum or trend is strong enough, more often than not crypto prices will react and bounce off of these areas in the opposite direction.

 are equally important when learning how to take crypto profits. Why? Well, the crypto market naturally tends to push prices toward the various Fibonacci levels. By paying attention to these levels — especially retracements — and checking them as a part of your crypto profit-taking strategy, you'll gain the upper hand when it comes to taking profits in crypto.

When learning how to take crypto profits, understanding pivot points is also a must. Similar to Fibonacci and support and resistance levels, it's quite common to see price react to pivot points.

Pivot points are calculated to determine specific points where market sentiment shifts from bullish to bearish. Day traders, in particular, use pivot points for determining entry points, stops, and levels for taking profits in crypto.

At the end of the day, pivot points should be viewed as intraday technical indicators. Due to their ability to identify trends and reversals, calculating pivot points is a must when learning how to take crypto profits for maximum gain.

Regardless of the crypto profit-taking strategy used, taking profits in crypto largely depends on one's risk appetite and investment timeline. If you have years to wait before seeing a return on your Bitcoin or other crypto investment — and the nerves of steel needed to wait out huge market dips and price corrections — then HODLing may be the right crypto profit-taking strategy for you.

If you're like most people, however, you want to see some profits and a return on your investment as soon as possible. You don't want to wait till years down the road; you want your venture into crypto to pay out right away, again and again. Chances are you also don't have the stomach for large downswings and seeing your account in the red. If this sounds like you, taking profits in crypto is definitely the right move.

Sure, taking profits in crypto takes practice and some time spent learning when and how to take them. However, by investing a little time into learning how to execute the right crypto profit-taking strategy, you can multiply your potential gains, allowing you to grow your crypto portfolio much faster and begin enjoying the fruits of your labor.

Reinvesting the Profits You Take in Crypto

After taking profits, many crypto investors choose to keep a portion of those profits, and reinvest the rest back in the crypto they just sold. They do this by selling high when the price begins to stall and consolidate, and then they wait for it to rebound off of a pivot point, support level or Fibonacci level before placing another buy order.

By actively trading and reinvesting your profits in this fashion, you can earn substantially more than you could by simply buying and HODLing for years, months, and even weeks or days. However, doing so and becoming consistently profitable takes fundamental knowledge of the markets, the right crypto profit-taking strategy, and the ability to stick to the strategy or adapt to market conditions as needed.

Another option is to employ strategies that allow you to build up your portfolio of principal coins, while investing in other ICOs and innovative coin projects. By going this route, you aren't just transferring Bitcoin into dollars and into your bank account for spending. Instead, you're reinvesting it into newer coin projects and technology with much more upside potential.

For example, if you traded 0.10 Bitcoin (BTC) and converted it into 0.20 BTC, you could reinvest the 0.10 BTC you earned as profit into a new type of coin or ICO — perhaps with the potential to provide a 50x or 100x return. If your gambit is successful, you would be an early investor who’s able to reap substantial rewards.

This crypto reinvesting strategy is ideal for investors looking to build their portfolios with a variety of high-return coins without taking too much risk. Both of the above strategies, however, offer amazing return potential and solid protection from future losses. Each also allows you to gain from the volatility of crypto, and from the nearly constant emergence of new coins and crypto technology and services.

As you can see from the examples above, as well as from thousands of crypto success stories, the right trading strategies can help you make money with digital currencies time and again. However, before you even begin thinking about taking profits in crypto, you must get used to recognizing certain cryptocurrency signals or "tells" in order to know when to buy and when to bail. The more experience you gain and the more you learn about how these unique assets work, the more profits you can expect to take.
