Using Candlestick Charts - Robinhood

On your Robinhood account Investing page, your portfolio chart shows today’s overall portfolio return in US dollars and percent. This is based on all your Robinhood account holdings, which is calculated differently depending on if you own crypto or not:

  • If no crypto, the daily return is calculated using the previous day’s market closing prices (4 PM ET) as the baseline.
  • If you own crypto, the daily return for crypto is calculated using today’s prices as of 12 AM (midnight in your time zone), and for securities is calculated using the previous day’s market closing (4 PM ET) prices as the baselines. The baseline times are different because you can trade crypto 24 hours a day.
  • External money movements (like ACH deposits, ACH withdrawals, ACATS transfers, or wires) are excluded from portfolio return calculations. This is influenced by the Modified Dietz Method (industry standard) such that returns reflect only investment performance, not asset transfer activity.
