Is there a problem with the (unrealized) Capital Gains calculation?

Can someone explain if there is an error in the PP calculation of the ‘unrealized’ capital gains?

I own 570 TSLA stocks.

Yesterday (Aug 19th) TSLA closed at $ 351,12

Today (Aug 20th) TSLA closed at $ 345,13

A price difference of $ 5,99 which for 570 pcs of TSLA amounts to a $ 3.414,30 value loss. Converted to DKK (which is what I use in my Portfolio Performance) it amounts to a value loss of DKK 21.863,47 (1 USD = 6,40 DKK)

How come PP shows a value for “Abs.Perf. 1 trading day” of DKK 30.257?

Because there is both the effect of the stock price change, and the USD/DKK change.
On 19 August, 1 USD = 6,442 DKK
On 20 August, 1 USD = 6,4 DKK

19 August :
570 * 351.12 USD * 6.442 = 1,289,291.57 DKK
20 August :
570 * 345.13 USD * 6.4 = 1,259,034.24 DKK

1,259,034.24 - 1,289,291.57 = - 30,257.33 DKK

Delta USD = 570 * (345.13 - 351.12)
Delta DKK = 570 * (345.13 * 6.4 - 351.12 * 6.442)

Hi Veterini,

Thank you for pointing out what should have been obvious and showing the calculation in plain detail.

Kudos.
