Understanding Your Portfolio App
This guide explains every major section of the PSX Portfolio Tracker in simple language. It is designed for both beginners and experienced IT professionals who want a clear, structured overview of how the application works and what each metric means in practice.
The Portfolio Summary shows the most important numbers for your account in one place. It combines your stock holdings and your cash balance to give you a clear picture of how your portfolio is performing right now.
Total Portfolio Value
The current rupee value of your entire portfolio, including both stocks and cash.
Practical meaning: Use this to see the real size of your portfolio at today’s prices.
Total Invested Capital
The total amount you have actually put into your open positions.
Practical meaning: This shows how much money is working in the market right now.
Unrealized P/L (Profit/Loss)
The profit or loss on your open positions based on current market prices.
Practical meaning: This moves up and down with the market and becomes real only when you sell.
Realized P/L
The profit or loss you have already locked in from closed trades.
Practical meaning: This is money you have already gained or lost; it does not change with price moves.
Portfolio Return (%)
The overall performance of your portfolio, combining both realized and unrealized results.
Practical meaning: Use this to compare your performance against benchmarks or alternative investments.
