It seems to ignore changes made to a transaction to reflect the true average cost of shares even after editing the transaction to reflect the true purchase price. This has nothing to do with fees since my broker does not charge any. It is strange because the purchase $ amount is still correct but it won’t accept any other price for the transaction beyond what it has determined. It is throwing off the absolute performance calculations, since it is calculating a higher average cost than what it should be.
Don’t get me wrong, but with the given information it’s impossible to understood your concern. What did you’ve changed where and where did you expect a change?
For instance I sold some META shares on friday one at $727.66 and another at $727.95. When I manually entered these transactions it defaults the sell price to $727.78 on both transactions. I even tried to delete and redo these transactions with the correct price again but it always defaults back to $727.78. Then I went through my transaction history from all my holdings, I noticed most of them were off (I took 3 hours to manually put in every transaction based on the transaction history from my broker), which reflected a higher avg price than what I actually have in my broker account. So the absolute $ gains and absolute % gains are off due to a higher avg price being reflected in my holdings. It is usually off my 10-20 cents per transaction so my absolute gains in Portfolio Performance are off by about $20 than my true gains in my broker account. Hope this helps understand my issue.
Please work with screenshots, this will help to understand where you do see a problem.
For now, I think you need to check the reporting period. The period must include the whole day of the transaction… for instance… sell on the Feb. 17th → reporting period must start at 16th.
Hope this helps, changing date, time, or price does not change the price in the transaction log. It always defaults to $727.78.
Have you seen and checked this?
Unfortunately you are not showing the reporting period.
Is there somewhere else I need to input a date beyond “Date” when editing a transaction? I don’t see information on a reporting date, unless you mean if I sold on the 14th I need to change the date to the 13th?
Thanks
It is because 19.65/0.027=727.777
PP calculates the purchase price from the number if shares and total amount.
That makes sense, thank you
