Okay, let's break this down.
Basically what haroldtee said, but I've added the calculations for the numbers, it should be self-explanatory.
You've lost little over 6 dollars indeed.

You bought $300 worth of BTC @ $17440 --> 17440 / 300 = 58.1333333 --> 1 / 58.133333 = 0.0172018
You sold $300 worth of BTC @ $17090 --> 0.0172018 * 17090 = 293.97 (price you sold your BTC for)

I really do not understand you. Buying at $17440 and selling at $17090 is not profit. That is a loss. That is like 2.00688% loss. If you put that into your trade of $300 worth of BTC, then you just lost $6, so you should have about $294 left now.
Remember that the more you have, the more the profit or loss when you go all in and vice versa.

Lets say I buy into BTC at 17090 and sell at 17440 so the difference between is 350+.. BUT if I only have $300usd worth of BTC (0.01716581) when I did that trade how do i calculate the profit? im boggled because I only have a small percentage of one BTC Unless im wrong but I doubt i made $350 on that buy/sell lol I just need a kick to understand this.
