๐ง Decoding Your Investment App: “Sort By – Smallest Day Change %”
✅ 6. Smallest Day Change %
๐ Explanation:
This sorting method arranges your assets by the biggest percentage decrease in price over the current trading day.
๐งฎ Day Change % = [(Today’s Price − Yesterday’s Price) ÷ Yesterday’s Price] × 100
It focuses on the percentage drop, not the dollar amount, making it easier to see which assets lost value relatively the most — no matter how expensive or cheap they are.
๐ Example:
| Asset | Yesterday | Today | Change $ | Change % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stock A | $10.00 | $9.00 | −$1.00 | −10% |
| Stock B | $100.00 | $98.00 | −$2.00 | −2% |
→ Even though Stock B lost more dollars, Stock A would be at the top of this list because it had the larger percentage loss.
๐ Use Case (When to Use):
-
๐จ Spot your worst daily performers
-
๐ก️ Monitor risk or volatility
-
๐ Identify trending downward assets quickly
๐ก Why It Matters:
-
Percentage change gives a fair view across all asset sizes
-
Great for managing risk and seeing where your portfolio is weakest today
-
Also helps spot stable or low-volatility assets if you see very little percentage change
