    I trade using CommSec (personal trades), but use Sharesight for keeping track of multiple portfolios, and one of the holdings has me completely stumped.

    In CommSec, it is showing the capital gain of one share at over 204%, while in Sharesight it is under 156%. I know that there can be 'little differences' in values for the same share (as some software/trackers include brokerage as part of the cost etc), but to have such a huge gap seems extreme.

    I know I can work it out manually myself and determine which one is correct, but the whole point of the software is so that I don't actually have to do that work. Anyone else had the same problem (with either platform)? Reasons? Fixes?
