I measure in fiat, its what you can withdraw and spend.

Investing and saving of coins on the other hand may be your goal for future growth... in this case you cannot measure profit or loss until you are going to sell Smiley

It is both. A profit in terms of ETH, but a loss in terms of fiat.

It is worth keeping track of your trades in both fiat and BTC/ETH/base coin. Tracking against fiat tells you if you are making money or not. Tracking against your base coin tells you if you are making good trades, or if you would be better off just buying and holding your base coin.

In my opinion the best way to calculate profit is in FIAT (so USD or EUR)... but if you have bought a coin with ETH that you already have, I would calculate profit in ETH and not based on ETH price in $ or €.
