This Performance Visualizer shows a breakdown of profit or loss on per instrument basis.

Image

  • Applies to MSBs only.
  • Chart Title will display "profit"/"loss" depending on portfolio outcome
  • Note: Displays a percentage of total profit or loss ("net profit" is not used here)
  • Winners/losers sorted in ascending order based on their profit/loss figure
  • Largest winner/loser is highlighted by displacing its segment
  • If the number of portfolio winners/losers exceeds a certain limit, those symbols that fall off "Top-N" will get their results summed and grouped into a separate segment called "Other instruments". This should avoid clutter when testing large portfolios e.g. Wealth-Lab 100. The threshold is determined automatically depending on overall number of winners/losers.
  • If Provider supports security names, it will be taken to display in the symbol's legend, otherwise symbols will be shown. Restrictions apply (see below).
  • Contains several optimizations specifically for extra large portfolios (e.g. S&P 500). Typically, these exhibit a great amount of small segments and the chart looks unpretty.
    • Pie segments are limited depending on the number of tested instruments.
    • To make better use of screen estate, either ticker or full company name (if available) is displayed depending on that limit.
    • For instruments with insignificant readings, everything including their label is hidden from the chart.
  • A tooltip displays security name and net profit/loss.

Known issues

  • Segments of the largest gainer/loser and "other instruments" always have the same color (applies when grouping is in effect).
  • Long security names tend to push the percentage to go off screen. This can be fixed.
