The US market is 25 minutes open and the price of V is up on yesterday’s close. But the info says down. Is there a rule-of-thumb as to the time of day that the info first becomes accurate? Or do I misunderstand. Perhaps these are prices changes since yesterday’s opening price?
Hi @Richard.W, we are aware of the issue. It has the same root cause as this one: Bug with price percentages?
We are working on a fix.
What is it actually that the “wrong” percentages are showing? At least if I knew that then it would be useful information of a sort.
It’s just an outdated value. I don’t believe that you can extrapolate something useful out of it until we fix it. However, it was just fixed
Yeah! I suppose it is a consolation to see my stocks down by just 2%, not 10% in a day.
Painfully I’ve seen these decreases on my portfoliio the last five days
Mon -2.4%
Tue -3.2%
Wed -0.1%
Thu -3.7%
So far today -2.3%
Down 15%.
(Shouldn’t there be an issues/bugs forum for this?)
This fundamental issue is still ongoing 9-months later. Please see images.
Google
Still out-of-whack. I think it corrects itself at 9AM
Actually, it 9:08AM and it’s still wrong (at least for LLOY).
TradingView: up 1.22%
Google: up 1.17%
T212: 0.78%
@MikeC Hi. This is not an issue or inaccuracy. Publicly available sources like Google, Yahoo, or TradingView use the last trade price when calculating daily % change.
Our Invest & ISA service’s default chart price is the BUY price. We calculate our % change using the said BUY price which is different than the last trade price, that’s where the discrepancy comes from when comparing with other sources.
Thank you, @David.
Can I ask what’s the difference between trade price and buy price?
Google’s stated price right now for LLOY is 37.70
Its daily change is: 1.36%
T212’s SELL price is 37.68
T212’s BUY price is 37.70
T212 spread is 0.2 difference
T212 daily price change is 0.86%
Even with a spread of 0.2 that’s still a bit out-of-whack.
I think you need to remember that Google price is delayed.
Last trade can be a buy or sell.
Buy price is best price at which shares are currently offered to buy.
Thanks for making the distinction @Richard.W
Google is fairly up-to-date if you refresh the page but I could equally pick TradingView and see a similar difference.
I don’t get it, how can the candle be green when the daily-price-change is displayed as negative?
TradingView has PTON (Peloton) up 4%. But 212 down 2.45% (time of writing).
OK so I think I’ve figured it out: it’s the price-difference since yesterday’s close, NOT the daily price change (ie, the change from today’s opening price).
This is confusing, if right; can staff confirm please?
Taken just a moment ago. You can see the price is now above yesterday’s candle, and (the price) is positive (and green).
@MikeC That’s correct.
For context, previous screenshot, a couple hours ago…
So now (time of writing), the candle has dipped below yesterday’s close yet it’s green and showing a much higher % value, even though the price has come down since the previous image.
Now I’m back to not getting it at all.
So how does that correlate with the previous post (above)? It doesn’t make sense (maybe I’m being thick).
Thanks for merging, BTW, @David
I’m not trying to troll here but at the risk of repeating myself, this doesn’t add up; even mathematically.
Using a calculator:
Yesterday’s close: 117.99
Price today in image: 118.76
Price difference (actual): +0.77
Percent change (actual): +0.652598%
From the image:
Price diff: +7.87
Percent change: +7.10%
Am I right, am I wrong? Please explain like I’m 6-years-old.
