Within a portfolio of tokens, not all positions will necessarily generate profits; some positions may be negative while others are positive. However, your total expected PnL is the figure that truly matters. If your expectations are high, you can monitor and adjust by reducing (closing) underperforming positions while maintaining or increasing (increasing positions in) high-performing ones.
