My Value Looks Wrong
Most “wrong value” problems have one of four causes. Work through them in order.
1. The price hasn’t refreshed yet
Section titled “1. The price hasn’t refreshed yet”Prices update automatically, but not continuously:
| Asset | How often |
|---|---|
| Stocks, ETFs and mutual funds | Every 2 hours |
| Crypto | Every hour |
| Connected exchanges | Every hour |
- Market closed — outside market hours (and at weekends) you see the last closing price. That’s expected.
- Mutual funds — a fund publishes its NAV once a day, usually in the evening, so today’s NAV may not be available until the next day.
- Indian holdings — when our main price source is unavailable, prices come from the official NSE and AMFI daily files. Those can be a day behind.
2. The holding is a value you typed in, not a live price
Section titled “2. The holding is a value you typed in, not a live price”If you added a holding by entering its total value instead of a number of units, that value stays fixed — it doesn’t move with the market. The holding’s detail page tells you when this is the case and shows the current market price next to your figure.
Fix: edit the holding and enter the number of units you own. From then on it’s valued at units × live price.
Some holdings have no public price at all, so they always use the value you enter: PMS, AIFs, unlisted and private shares, property, and fixed deposits. Update these by hand when you get a new statement — Entry Reminders can prompt you.
3. The app doesn’t recognise the name
Section titled “3. The app doesn’t recognise the name”A live price needs a recognised symbol. If you typed a name without picking a result from the search list, the holding has no price feed.
Fix: edit the holding, search for the asset again and pick it from the list. For Indian shares, choose the listing ending in .NS (NSE) or .BO (BSE) — a plain symbol like TCS can match a company on a foreign exchange. See Can’t Find My Stock or Fund.
4. The holding has transactions
Section titled “4. The holding has transactions”When a holding has transactions, its units, cost and value are worked out from those transactions. Editing the total value or cost directly on the holding won’t stick — the next recalculation puts back the figure the transactions add up to.
Fix: open the holding’s detail page, look at the transaction list, and correct, add or delete the transaction that’s wrong. Common culprits:
- a missing buy (so you appear to hold fewer units)
- a sell entered as a buy
- a price entered per lot instead of per unit, or as the total instead of per unit
- a transaction entered twice
Reading the detail page
Section titled “Reading the detail page”| Figure | What it is |
|---|---|
| Price / Unit | The price the holding is valued at |
| Live Price | The latest market quote |
| Current Worth (Live) | Live price × units you hold |
| Avg Cost Basis | Average price you paid per unit |
| Total Invested | What you paid in total |
Currency differences
Section titled “Currency differences”Each holding keeps its own currency (for example US shares in dollars), and your totals are converted to your display currency at the latest exchange rate. A total can shift slightly when exchange rates move even if the price didn’t — see Multi-Currency Support.
