Here is a clear breakdown of the “Sort By – Smallest Day Change $” option in your investment app:
🧠 Decoding Your
Investment App: “Sort By – Smallest Day Change $”
✅ 4. Smallest Day Change $
📘 Explanation:
This sorts your investments based on how little they have changed in dollar
value ($) today — from the biggest drop to the smallest movement.
It focuses on:
- Assets
that lost the most money today
- Assets
that didn’t move much
It calculates the change like this:
Day Change $ = Today’s Closing Price – Yesterday’s Price × Number of
Shares
🔍 Example:
|
Asset |
Change Today |
Shares Owned |
Total Change |
|
Stock A |
-$2.00 |
10 |
- $20.00 |
|
Stock B |
-$0.10 |
10 |
- $1.00 |
→ Stock A lost more in dollar value and would appear higher
in this sorted list.
📊 Use Case (When to Use):
- See
which investments lost value today
- Quickly
spot underperforming assets
- Monitor
volatility and stay informed about daily movements
- Identify
stocks that are stable (little or no change)
📝 Why It Matters:

useful for day-to-day portfolio health checks or risk management.
