The "Live Now" row refreshes on every page load — unlike the fixed weekly snapshots below it, it isn't a recorded data point. Week of Jul 9 is the opening snapshot — day one, all eight positions bought at once, so return is flat by definition. S&P 500 closed at 7,543.64 that week. "Pending" rows fill in each following week. Once there are 3+ real data points, this table can be swapped for a simple line chart (portfolio vs. benchmark) using the same numbers — the row structure above is already shaped for that.
How the columns are calculated: Portfolio Return = (current value − $102,781.80) / $102,781.80. S&P 500 Return = (current S&P level − 7,543.64) / 7,543.64. Delta = Portfolio Return − S&P 500 Return. The "Live Now" row uses SPY (an ETF tracking the S&P 500) as a stand-in for the index, since real-time index levels aren't available on the free API tier — its S&P 500 Return is (current SPY price − $751.16) / $751.16, SPY's close on July 9, 2026.
