Prop Journal Allocations: A Weight Can Fall Without a Price Loss
An allocation weight is a value divided by a total. It can move because an asset price changed, because cash moved elsewhere or because the measurement scope changed. Keep those causes separate before relating a journal percentage to evaluation performance.

Retain values as well as percentages
Begin with fictional values A=500 CAD and B=500 CAD, so A is 50% of a1,000 CAD total. The currency here is an explicit teaching reporting unit, not evidence that a provider account is denominated in CAD.
A percentage snapshot without its component values cannot establish the cause of a change. Save deposits, withdrawals, fees and valuation times separately. A missing movement ledger prevents a complete attribution even when both endpoint weights are known.
Compare two independent fictional scenarios
In the cash-flow scenario, add 500 CAD to B while both prices and A’s value stay unchanged. A remains 500 but becomes 500/1,500, approximately 33.3333% of the total. Its lower weight is not a price loss.
In a separate price-only scenario from the original baseline, A rises to 600 whileB stays 500. A’s weight becomes 600/1,100, approximately 54.5455%. Do not combine this alternative with the cash-flow case unless the event sequence is explicitly supplied.
| Scenario | A /B value | A weight |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline | 500 /500 | 50% |
| Cash added only to B | 500 /1,000 | ≈33.3333% |
| Price-only alternative | 600 /500 | ≈54.5455% |
| Observed weight without ledger | Values or movements missing | Cause unresolved |
Use account evidence for account conclusions
The original allocation-cause resource on this site remains the companion. An actual evaluation can have different account boundaries and movement rules. Read HashHedge’s current product definition before treating a research allocation percentage as an account loss statistic.
The optional sponsored link offers programme information. This worksheet moves no cash, changes no holdings and infers no customer performance. Its two scenarios show why the observed percentage needs its numerator, denominator and movement evidence before a cause is assigned.
