i-11.01.10- Smallest Gain/Loss %

 Here’s a detailed breakdown of the “Smallest Gain/Loss %” option from the “Sort By” menu in your investment app:


🎯 10. Smallest Gain/Loss %


📘 Explanation:

This option sorts your assets by the smallest percentage gain or loss compared to the original purchase price. It finds the investments that are closest to breakeven — meaning they’ve changed the least in percentage terms since you bought them.

🔹 These might have:

  • Slight gain (e.g., +1%)
  • Slight loss (e.g., −2%)
  • Almost no change (e.g., 0%)

🧮 Formula:

Gain/Loss % = [(Current Price − Purchase Price) ÷ Purchase Price] × 100


🔍 Example:

Asset

Purchase Price

Current Price

Gain/Loss %

ETF A

$100

$101

+1%

ETF B

$100

$99

−1%

ETF C

$100

$120

+20%

ETF D

$100

$70

−30%

→ “Smallest Gain/Loss %” will show ETF A and ETF B at the top because they are closest to 0%.


✅ Use Case:

  • 🎯 Breakeven Tracking: Easily see which assets are hovering near your original cost
  • 🔍 Helpful for deciding whether to:
    • Sell with minimal loss/gain
    • Wait for a bigger move
  • 📊 Ideal for low-volatility or stable investment tracking

💬 Why It Matters:

  • Good for monitoring investments that are “flat” or not moving much
  • Lets you review which assets are safe/quiet performers in your portfolio
  • Useful when planning to rebalance or cut weak performers
