📊 Decoding Your
Investment App: “Sort By – Biggest Gain/Loss $”
✅ 7. Biggest Gain/Loss $
📘 Explanation:
This option sorts your assets based on the total dollar amount gained or
lost since you purchased them.
- Biggest
Gain $ = Investment with the highest positive return
- Biggest
Loss $ = Investment with the largest negative return
This includes both unrealized (not sold yet) and
possibly realized (already sold) gains or losses, depending on the app’s
settings.
🧮 Gain/Loss $ =
(Current Price − Purchase Price) × Quantity Owned
🔍 Example:
|
Asset |
Purchase Price |
Current Price |
Shares |
Gain/Loss $ |
|
Stock A |
$100 |
$150 |
2 |
+$100 |
|
Stock B |
$200 |
$180 |
1 |
−$20 |
→ Stock A would be at the top of the list using “Biggest
Gain”, while Stock B would be near the bottom with a “Loss.”
