Here’s a detailed explanation for:
๐ Decoding Your
Investment App: “Sort By – Biggest Gain/Loss %”
✅ 9. Biggest Gain/Loss %
๐ Explanation:
This sorting option shows the biggest percentage of gain or loss you've
had since buying each asset — not in dollars, but as a percentage return on
your original investment.
- Biggest
Gain % = Asset with highest percentage increase
- Biggest
Loss % = Asset with highest percentage drop
๐งฎ Gain/Loss % =
[(Current Price − Purchase Price) ÷ Purchase Price] × 100
๐ Example:
|
Asset |
Purchase Price |
Current Price |
Gain/Loss $ |
Gain/Loss % |
|
Stock A |
$10 |
$20 |
+$10 |
+100% |
|
Stock B |
$200 |
$250 |
+$50 |
+25% |
|
Stock C |
$50 |
$25 |
−$25 |
−50% |
→ “Biggest Gain/Loss %” will show Stock A (+100%)
before Stock B (+25%), even though Stock B made you more money in
dollars.
