Learning how to calculate stock gain or loss percentage helps beginners on the Nigerian Exchange track their money.
In simple words: You figure out how to calculate stock gain or loss percentage by dividing your profit or loss by your buying price. Think of it like selling yams in your shop and checking your gain. Your percentage gain or loss tells you how well your trade performed.
For example: If you buy shares for one hundred naira and the price goes up by twenty naira, your gain is twenty percent.
Remember:
- Always use your original buying price as the base.
- A minus sign shows you made a loss on the NGX.
- Percentages help you compare different trades easily.
