Claiming Yield

Overview

Whenever a strategy's trading bot exits a trade, the strategy accrues yield or debt depending on whether the trade is profitable. The yield/debt is distributed to users proportional to their stake in the strategy. Making a profitable trade increases the strategy's existing yield or decreases the strategy's existing debt. A losing trade decreases the strategy's existing yield or increases the strategy's existing debt.

Users can accumulate yield or debt in a strategy depending on how much they invest in the strategy and how profitable the trading bot has been during the time they're invested. If the trading bot has a net loss from the time the user invested, the user would accumulate debt in the strategy. When users withdraw from the strategy or deposit more funds into the strategy, any existing debt is settled on the user's behalf.
