% change column in Portfolio Editor

[Stefan]

Does not display correctly for some stocks?
I am looking at the value displayed by the % change for TLT at this moment (1:12 pm PST on 6/25/2012).
The "price" column says 126.79 - which is correct.
BUT the "change" column reports 0.050 - which is incorrect. It closed on 6/22 at 125.020, so the diff should have been 1.77 not 0.050. And the "% change" should show 1.41% not 0.04 %.

I have also checked the TLT graph, which shows the correct data on 6/22 and on 6.25.
So, apparently Fund Manager has the correct data for today and previous market day (Fri) but it shows and incorrect calculation for change and % change. Could you please clarify why that is so?

Thank you,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Maybe you have a price recorded for Saturday or Sunday the 23/24th? Open up the investment in the Data Register (by double clicking on it in the Portfolio Editor) and change the "Data Type" to "Prices". This shows you all your recorded prices for that investment. It sounds like somehow you have a price recorded on the weekend, which you can just delete. By default, graphs do not show weekends, so that wouldn't show if you had a price recorded on the weekend.

Thank you -> that was indeed the problem. I deleted the prices recorded on Sunday 6/24 and all is correct now. Though I still do not know how come these prices were there and reported as of Sunday. But it doesn't matter, now that I have a handle on how to fix this.

Thank you!
Stefan
