This influences the signal of the standard SOPR metric whereby a significant portion of the volume realises a negligible profit/loss, and therefore the magnitude and responsiveness of SOPR is dampened. By removing relay transactions, the realised profit and loss calculated by the aSOPR metric is more responsive, and generally of greater magnitude than the equivalent SOPR. The chart below compares aSOPR (orange) to SOPR (blue) to demonstrate this effect.
