Read a holding's detail page
Click any holding to open its detail page, where everything about that one position lives across five tabs — Overview, Trades, Dividends, Notes, and Settings. This walks you through what each tab shows so you can read a holding in full.
Open a holding
Section titled “Open a holding”- Go to your portfolio dashboard.
- Click any row in the holdings table.
The page opens on the Overview tab. Use Back to portfolio at the top to return.
The header shows the asset logo and name, the ticker with exchange and currency pills, a Closed or Delisted pill where relevant, and on the right the current market price and the day’s change.
Overview tab
Section titled “Overview tab”The Overview tab has a metrics strip, a price chart, Key Statistics, Return Composition, and a news feed.
Metrics strip
Section titled “Metrics strip”Portfolio-level amounts use your reporting currency; per-share prices use the security’s native currency.
| Metric | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Holding Value | Current market value in your reporting currency, with the holding’s portfolio weight |
| Capital Gain | Unrealised gain or loss in your reporting currency |
| Total Dividends | Total dividend income received from this holding to date |
| Total Return | Capital gain plus income, net of fees — the all-in return |
| Day Change | Today’s price movement (hidden for delisted holdings) |
For cross-currency holdings, two extra cells appear — Price Gain (the capital gain with currency movement stripped out) and Currency Gain (the gain or loss from currency movement). For same-currency holdings, Capital Gain = Price Gain and no Currency Gain cell shows.
Key Statistics
Section titled “Key Statistics”| Stat | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Current Quantity | Shares currently held |
| Avg Buy Price | Weighted average purchase price per share (security’s currency) |
| Total Cost (cost basis) | Total invested, including fees (reporting currency for cross-currency holdings) |
| Market Price | Latest price per share; delisted holdings show the last known price and date |
| First Purchase | Date of the earliest BUY |
| Holding Period | Time since first purchase, e.g. 2y 3m |
| Asset Class | Equity, ETF, or Fund |
| Broker | The broker recorded for this holding |
Return Composition
Section titled “Return Composition”This card breaks your total return into Price Gain (always shown), Currency Gain (cross-currency holdings only), and Dividends. Each row shows the dollar amount, percentage, and a proportional bar, with Total Return summing them at the bottom.
Delisted holdings
Section titled “Delisted holdings”When a security has had no live quote for an extended period, Metrifly marks it Delisted: the market price uses the last known close (with its date), and day change and misleading percentages are hidden. If fresh quotes arrive, the badge clears automatically.
Trades tab
Section titled “Trades tab”The Trades tab lists every transaction for this holding, scoped by ticker and exchange — so the same symbol on two exchanges keeps separate trade lists. Each row has Edit and Delete actions; Delete asks for confirmation before recalculating your portfolio. You may see BUY, SELL, DIVIDEND, and DIVIDEND_REINVESTED types.
Dividends tab
Section titled “Dividends tab”This tab shows the holding’s dividend activity — unconfirmed dividends at the top awaiting review, and a Confirmed dividends (N) card below where you can Unconfirm or Delete each one. For the full walkthrough of reviewing detected dividends, see Confirm your dividends.
Notes tab
Section titled “Notes tab”The Notes tab is for your own observations and reminders on this holding. See Add notes to a holding.
Settings tab
Section titled “Settings tab”A single Holding Settings card with five controls:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Trust Income | Marks this holding’s income as trust income for tax |
| Exclude from Tax | Leaves this holding out of your tax reports |
| Auto Dividend Reinvestment | Treats dividends as reinvested (a DRP holding) rather than cash |
| Classification | A free-text label, e.g. Growth or Income |
| Broker Name | The broker you hold this position with |
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| ”Holding not found” | The holding may have been removed or the link is stale. Return to your dashboard and reopen it. |
| Your settings changes didn’t stick | Click Save Settings after changing any control. |
| The Dividends tab is empty | No dividends detected or recorded yet — see Track your dividends. |
| Market price shows N/A | Market data may still be loading after an import. |
| Price Gain / Currency Gain are missing | These only appear for cross-currency holdings. |
| The news feed is empty | No recent articles were found — common for thinly traded or newly listed securities. |
