Whole portfolio value does not account for different currencies

Open halmartin opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug The "whole portfolio" view in the app shows the sum of the holdings of each stock, however it appears to be based on a simple sum() of the positions which does not account for positions in different currencies.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Add a position for a security traded in US dollars (e.g. QQQ)
  2. Add a position for a security traded in a foreign currency (e.g. EXS1)
  3. Click on the briefcase icon in the main application view
  4. The value of the portfolio is the sum() all positions, irrespective of different currencies

Expected behavior For this example, I added 100 shares of QQQ at a price of $100.00, and 100 shares of EXS1 at a price of 100,00€

  • The present value of the QQQ position is $31.717,00
  • The present value of the EXS1 position is €12.482,00

The total value of the portfolio is shown as 44.199,00, which is SUM(31717, 12482) however these are different currencies (with USD being worth €0,844 at the time of writing).

In my opinion, the portfolio sum should either be:

  1. The sum of positions for each currency held (e.g. total of positions in USD, EUR, JPY, etc) e.g. $31.717,00 ; €12.482,00
  2. The sum of positions in one currency, with other currencies converted to the displayed currency e.g. €39.251,15

In my opinion, the portfolio sum should either be:

1. The sum of positions for each currency held (e.g. total of positions in USD, EUR, JPY, etc)
   e.g. $31.717,00 ; €12.482,00

2. The sum of positions in one currency, with other currencies converted to the displayed currency
   e.g. €39.251,15

Or both. But either option would be a great improvement. Currently the total is meaningless for portfolios with holdings in multiple currencies.
