I'm never sure if you're serious Benny. You seem to ask a lot of silly questions but surely even you would have to know that if your bank is $300 and your unit is 1% then 1% of $300 is $3. If you are down $1.70 then you are down less than 1 unit. You are therefore down -0.56 units as 1.7 divided by 300 is 0.0056 which you then multiply by 100 for a percentage (well that's the way I do it anyway). And of course this is a minus figure because you said you were down. I really hope this helps.
