Please note: TradeSmith’s gain calculations may differ slightly from figures you compute manually. Our platform applies rounding and incorporates compounding when annualizing gains, which may produce small variances compared to independently calculated results.
For Long Positions
Annualized Gain
- If you held the position for less than 365 days, then… Annualized Gain=365*(Gain/Hold Period)
- If you held the position 365 days or more, then..
- If gain is < -100, then… Annualized Gain = -100 ((1 – Gain/100)^(365/hold period) – 1))
- If gain is > -100, then… Annualized Gain = -100 ((1 + Gain/100)^(365/hold period) – 1))
Gain w/ Div – The dollar gain of a position that includes any dividends. It is calculated as follows:
- Gain w/ Div = Value – Total C/B + Dividends
Gain % w/ Div – The percentage gain of the position since its purchase with dividends. It is calculated as follows:
- Gain % w/Div = (Value + Div – Total CB) / Total CB
Gain/Shr w/ Div – Dollar gain per share from entry price, including dividends
- Gain/Shr w/ Div = Gain with Div / Shares
Gain ex Div – The dollar gain of a position that does not include any dividends. It is calculated as follows:
- Gain ex Div = Value – Total C/B
Gain % ex Div – The percentage gain of the position since its purchase without dividends. It is calculated as follows:
- Gain % ex Div = (Value – Total CB) / Total CB
Gain/Shr ex Div – The latest closing price minus the adjusted purchase price without dividends.
- Gain/Shr ex Div = Gain excluding Div / Shares
