🎯 Key Metrics Explained

Total Portfolio Value

What it is: Current market value of all your holdings + cash Formula:
(Shares × Current Price) for each stock + Cash Balance
Example:
  • 10 TSLA @ 465=465 = 4,650
  • 50 AAPL @ 180=180 = 9,000
  • Cash = $5,000
  • Total = $18,650

Cost Basis

What it is: How much you paid for each stock (avg if multiple buys) Why it matters: Determines your profit/loss and tax liability Example:
  • Bought 5 TSLA @ 440=440 = 2,200
  • Bought 5 more @ 460=460 = 2,300
  • Cost Basis = 4,500/10shares=4,500 / 10 shares = **450/share**

Unrealized P&L

What it is: Paper gains/losses on open positions Formula:
(Current Price - Cost Basis) × Shares
Example:
  • 10 TSLA @ $465 current
  • Cost basis $450
  • Unrealized P&L = (465465 - 450) × 10 = +$150
Not real money until you sell!

Realized P&L

What it is: Actual profits/losses from closed trades Shows in: Order history, tax reports Example:
  • Bought 10 AAPL @ 170=170 = 1,700
  • Sold 10 AAPL @ 180=180 = 1,800
  • Realized P&L = +$100
This IS real money (and taxable).

Day Change

What it is: How much your portfolio moved today Resets daily at 4:00 PM ET close Example:
  • Yesterday close: $45,000
  • Today now: $47,105
  • Day Change: +$2,105 (+4.68%)

Return %

What it is: Total return since you started Formula:
(Current Value - Total Invested) / Total Invested × 100
Example:
  • Invested $37,000 total
  • Current value $45,250
  • Return = (45,25045,250 - 37,000) / $37,000 = +22.3%

💡 Pro Tips

1. Check Portfolio Daily (But Don’t Obsess)

Morning routine:
  • Check overall P&L
  • See biggest movers
  • Read AI alerts
  • Plan day’s trades
Don’t check every 5 minutes. That’s stressful.

2. Use Snapshot Grades

Quick portfolio health check:
  • Sort by grade (worst first)
  • See which holdings are struggling
  • Consider trimming positions with D or F grades
  • Double down on A grades

3. Monitor Allocation

Don’t be too concentrated:
  • Keep any single stock under 20% of portfolio
  • Diversify across sectors
  • AI will alert if you’re too concentrated

4. Set Target Exits

For each position, know:
  • Profit target (where to sell for gains)
  • Stop loss (where to bail if wrong)
  • Time frame (how long to hold)
Portfolio helps you track this.

5. Review Weekly, Not Daily

Weekly review (Sunday evening):
  • What worked this week?
  • What didn’t?
  • Any positions to trim?
  • What to add next week?
Deep review monthly.
