Why This System Matters

Understanding Price Lots: The Key to Profit

Many investors lose track of their true profitability because they don't understand price lots. Here's a crucial insight: You can still make a profit even when your average price is higher than the Current Market Price (CMP)!

Real Example:

  • Lot 1: 100 shares bought at LKR 80.00 (Total: LKR 8,000)
  • Lot 2: 100 shares bought at LKR 95.00 (Total: LKR 9,500)
  • Average Price: LKR 87.50
  • Current Market Price: LKR 85.00

If you sell 100 shares at LKR 85.00, you make a PROFIT of LKR 500!

Why? Because our system automatically sells the lowest-priced lot first (LKR 80.00), giving you (85.00 - 80.00) × 100 = LKR 500 profit, even though your average price is LKR 87.50!

Without tracking price lots: You might think you're losing money because CMP (85) is less than average (87.50). With our system: You know exactly which lots are profitable and can make strategic selling decisions!

Know Your Exact Monthly Profit

Stop guessing! Our system calculates your exact monthly dividend income and realized profits automatically. You'll always know:

  • Total dividends received each month from all your holdings
  • Realized profits/losses from each stock sale transaction
  • Upcoming dividend payments you're entitled to receive
  • Portfolio performance trends over time with visual charts

Result: Make informed investment decisions based on accurate data, not guesswork!

Advanced Features - Script Dividends, IPO & Share Split

Script Dividends Management

Script dividends are additional shares issued by companies to shareholders instead of cash payments. Our system automatically handles script dividend calculations and updates your holdings seamlessly.

How Script Dividends Work:

Automatic Calculation:
  • • System calculates additional shares based on your current holdings
  • • Updates your total share quantity automatically
  • • Adjusts your average cost per share accordingly
  • • Maintains accurate portfolio valuation
Example Scenario:

Before Script Dividend: You own 100 shares of ABC Company at LKR 50.00 per share

Script Dividend: 1:10 (1 additional share for every 10 shares held)

Result: You receive 10 additional shares. Your new total: 110 shares at adjusted average price

Smart Feature: When you record a script dividend, the system automatically updates your holdings, recalculates your average cost, and maintains accurate profit/loss tracking without any manual intervention!

IPO (Initial Public Offering) Tracking

Track new companies going public on the CSE and monitor your IPO investments with specialized IPO tracking features designed for new listings.

Watchlist Integration:

IPO Process in Our System:

  1. Add IPO company to your watchlist before listing date
  2. Record IPO application costs and expected allocation
  3. Update with actual shares received after allocation
  4. Track post-IPO performance and price movements
  5. Monitor for any corporate actions (dividends, splits)

Share Split Management

Share splits (stock splits) increase the number of shares you own while proportionally reducing the price per share. Our system automatically handles split calculations to maintain accurate portfolio tracking.

How Share Splits Work:

Automatic Adjustment:
  • • System multiplies your share quantity by split ratio
  • • Divides your cost price by split ratio
  • • Updates all existing stock lots automatically
  • • Maintains total investment value unchanged
Example: 2:1 Stock Split:

Before Split: 100 shares at LKR 100.00 per share = LKR 10,000 total value

Split Ratio: 2:1 (2 new shares for every 1 old share)

After Split: 200 shares at LKR 50.00 per share = LKR 10,000 total value (unchanged)

System Benefits:
  • • All historical transactions remain accurate
  • • Profit/loss calculations stay consistent
  • • Dividend tracking continues seamlessly
  • • No manual adjustments required

Pro Tip: Share splits don't change your total investment value - they just increase the number of shares you own at a proportionally lower price. This often makes shares more affordable to other investors and can boost liquidity!
