Wait, what just happened? Yesterday I sold all my shares in company (bought at 1.5) and it says I earned 400+. Then I rebuy later in the evening @ 1.57.

Now my portfolio says my realised profit is 260+, but my average share purchase price is 1.522, but with "profit" of 117? What the hell???

I believe the average share price is calculated based on all the shares bought (including those that you have sold). That's what Rakuten has been doing to my stocks. I don't like this style but that's how Rakuten calculates

Yes Rakuten averaged out the acquisition price

But calculations goes wrong when you do intraday. Even you have completely sold the stocks prior to repurchase, they still use your earlier acquisition price to average out
