Question 1

What is BullionPulse for?

Accepted Answer

BullionPulse helps physical bullion owners track coins, bars and precious-metals holdings across gold, silver, platinum and palladium. It combines portfolio valuation, buy and sell records, FIFO-based realised P&L, multi-currency views, reporting and export features.

Question 2

Is BullionPulse a trading or brokerage app?

Accepted Answer

No. BullionPulse is a portfolio tracking and record-keeping app. It does not provide brokerage execution, trading recommendations, investment advice or performance predictions.

Question 3

Does BullionPulse track ETFs, paper gold or crypto?

Accepted Answer

BullionPulse is positioned specifically around physical precious-metals ownership. Its launch positioning is coins, bars and precious-metals holdings rather than paper instruments, ETFs, crypto or generic assets.

Question 4

Do I need an account?

Accepted Answer

No account is required in the launch version. BullionPulse is local-first, meaning portfolio data is stored on the device rather than requiring a mandatory cloud account.

Question 5

Can I record both purchases and sales?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Free users can track holdings, buy transactions, sell transactions, transaction history, Sale Detail screens and individual sale realised P&L.

Question 6

How does BullionPulse calculate realised profit and loss?

Accepted Answer

BullionPulse uses FIFO lot matching and per-sale realised P&L. It is positioned as a realised-profit tracker, not only as a valuation screen.

Question 7

What is FIFO?

Accepted Answer

FIFO means "first in, first out". For a disposal, the earliest eligible purchase lots are matched first so the app can calculate the realised result for the sale.

Question 11

What happens if I sell in another currency?

BullionPulse is designed to capture the sale-time FX rate, date, source and provider for mixed-currency sale handling so the result can be recorded honestly in the base currency.
