Ability to input negative balances

[HPaulson]

Proposal

In the portfolio section, it would be nice if users had the ability to add a negative balance for a coin. Such a feature would be extremely simple to implement by allowing users to input a negative value in the portfolio balance box, and adding the negative value (Subtracting the amount) from the total value.

Why?

Although this feature may seem quite peculiar- it actually has a very distinct and useful purpose for a large group of traders. Many crypto traders, especially those new to the space, engage in Leverage or Margin trading. Such trading allows a user to borrow crypto, often in the form of a stablecoin, from an exchange. Then traders can then trade and invest the borrowed crypto, and pay their debt back in interest after a certain interval. This type of trading allows for more profits while having less cash to invest. Due to this, leverage and margin investors will often carry a negative balance in debt of a stablecoin, such as USDT, and have said debt invested in other coins. Having the ability to input this debt in the form of a negative value would be extremely useful for showing a trader their actual profits and balance, which would exclude their debt.

Thanks for any consideration,
Hunter
