How is this profit when I'm seeing loss at my portfolio? Even though I bought at a lower price and sold earlier im still at a lost

He doesn't have your numbers of the loss.
He is only trying to help with his assumption of the calculation lol...which shows a profit.
Maybe if you showed him the actual loss and the total transaction fees and costs then someone may be able to figure it out...

I bought 2k units at  6.78
Then sold next day at 2k units of 6.83
Then buy back in again same day at 6.65.

My total avg now is 6.715 in my portfolio
This is a -130

Since the closing price was 6 65

Sorry ah.. im noob in this.. seems disadvantage for me to buy at the same day

What brokerage are you using?
That does not seem like your profit from the trades.
-130= (6.715-6.78)*2000 is just the movement of your average value of holdings from the previous day to the current day, assuming you bought the exact number of units also disregarding any other fees.
Calculate your cash flows for the trade for your actual gains.
Hope that helps.

I'm using maybank cds sir, it seems to be disadvantage to buy back from the same day because the system will prioritise the buy first and average them

The number you showed is likely just the daily movement in share price of the same unit...
you should be able to find another category on the "realized gain/loss", your profits from the sale should be reflected there.
