About opportunity costs

Hi there!

Last week I was studying my sells fo the last 4 years.
With Opportunity cost, is easy to see if you’ve won or lost money holding or seeling.
But for me is much more graphic to see a chart price of the stock that marks when I buy and when I sell.
Like These ones.

The chart does not tell me the number I would have won or lost, but it tells me about my behaviour. Do I hold until claudication always?, Should I think more about time to sell instead of follow the bad news?. Do I buy in bull or bear time?.

Don’t know if it could be feasible but and interesting feature.

Thanks!

All line charts can display buy/sell/income markers - just toggle them, or open the Transactions view.

It also compares the returns from your actions compared to the price action.

The Price chart does not display any buy/sell markers. It’s more for historical reasons.

Isn’t this what you’re asking for?

Hi,

Yes, that’s what I asked for but,


This is HRL.
What represent the points?, dividends?.
Could the buys and sells have different signs or color in order to differentiate them?.

Thanks!

Points are income events.

The color have to be the same as the line, as when you compare assets, they all have their markers - you wouldn’t be able to differentiate them then.

I think there could be an option to just make them bigger, or display signage (B / S / D) or maybe even amount or price.

I personally find up/down arrows and points to descriptive enough to figure out what is going on but I do like the idea of having an option to switch to B, S, D.
I’ve only been a user for a couple of weeks but somewhere along the way I was presented with a video guide on all the features and found it extremely useful.

I wonder if stock splits are worth noting too, when I was waiting for an entry price on NVDA, I knew the stock split would be bullish so I went in hard when that was announced.

Stock splits are marked with a cross (X), but not into the future. Capitally is not well suited for analysis like that, there are plenty of stock screeners with better data quality around future events
