So you bought it when it cost you 22.36 to buy 1 USD

You bought at 42.86 dollars so it cost you:

22.36 * 42.86 * 15.649806

14997.9853202

The bid is now 64.25 so thatā€™s

64.25*15.649806

1005.5000355 dollars worth

So a dollar is now worth letā€™s say 21.88

1005.5000355 * 21.88

22000.3407767

So you have gone from

14997.9853202

and would end up with

22000.3407767

A return of 7002.3554565

Without that FX impact you can see the gain using the same rate you bought:

1005.5000355 * 22.36

22482.9807938

Ok, I got it, but I still think itā€™s misleading and donā€™t reflect reality :wink:

1 share, 10 usd, 25czk

Current price 20 usd
Current rate 20 czk

So it IMHO should be:

1 share, 400czk

Return: 150czk
Gain/loss: 250czk (100%)
Fx impact: -100czk (-20%)
Avg. Price 10usd (250czk)
Sell price: 20usd

Because this is whatā€™s really happened. Share price is 100% up, but fx rate is 20% down.

Now fully understanding this.
I agree it would be nice to have a clear split between FX and gain/loss without FX being a factor in gain/loss amount.
