Short Open Positions
This section shows all short open positions sorted by asset class, then currency, then symbol; and summarizes totals in your base currency at the asset level, displaying this as a new total line. The Cost Basis, Closing value, and Unrealized PNL for positions in a non-base currency are converted to your base currency using the exchange rates that were in effect on the day of the opening transaction. The Unrealized Profit or Loss calculated in this section is also used in the MTM Performance Summary section of your Activity Statement.
Details by symbol are expandable and collapsible for a daily activity statement. To see more detail for a particular symbol, click the symbol. You can also use the Expand All/Contract All/Add Scroll and Remove Scroll links at the top of the section to make it easier to view details by symbol.
Wash Sales
For lots that have been adjusted for a loss disallowed, the code LD will appear in the Code column. For other types of lots, nothing will be displayed in the Code column. In the Open column, the holding period time is displayed instead of the open time. For default lots they are the same; for lots that have been adjusted for a loss disallowed, the holding period will be the date and time of the original lot. For the loss disallowed lots, the cost basis has been adjusted by the amount disallowed (also cost price).
