Portfolio value is:
- the quantity of each asset multiplied by its latest available market price;
- plus the balances of the cash accounts linked to the portfolio.
Where prices come from
Prices come from a market data provider and update throughout the trading day. When the exchange is closed, Strum uses the last closing price.
Strum doesn't update prices of custom assets: you enter them yourself. For details, see "Custom assets".
Why the value differs from your broker's
The most common reasons:
- not all trades have been imported or added;
- prices were taken at different times of day;
- currency was converted at different times.
For details, see "Why Strum's numbers differ from your broker's".
How many portfolios you can create
- "Beginner" — 1 portfolio;
- "Passive Investor" — 3 portfolios;
- "Active Investor" — 10 portfolios.
Multiple portfolios are handy for separating accounts at different brokers or different strategies.
