The difference seems to be that you and howprofitable are using different prices for EGAME.
You are looking at one moviestock and one starbond, and you're looking at what the prices are right now.
howprofitable has to look at ~1400 starbond prices and ~1500 moviestock prices. Getting this data and keeping it live puts strain on HSX's servers, so he probably just collects it once or twice a day. This means there's a delay in the site's calculations.
So your calculation was correct because you're going from the most recent data. But howprofitable wasn't exactly "wrong" - the calculation is made correctly, it just relies on slightly out-of-date data - and the result is a marginal difference between the your math and its math.
(And since you posted your data, the price for EGAME has changed again, so I get a slightly different result to you.)
Can someone please explain (w/example) how to calculate dROI? Sep 26, 23:05
Here's a link to the HSXsanity column on dROI, which includes the formula Sep 27, 04:44
And here's a calculation, using one of next week's adjusts: Sep 27, 06:41

It's not that big a load. Averages out to about 3 page requests a minute. {nm} Sep 27, 12:53
Don't get hung up over a 2/1000 of a percent difference, dROI is a tool for comparing different securities. Sep 27, 13:19
