Trades

The Trades section shows all trades, sorted by asset class, then by currency, then by symbol. Realized and MTM profit and loss is shown for all realized (closed) trades. For the purpose of cost basis and realized profit or loss, commissions are netted. For MTM profit or loss, commissions are not netted and are included as a separate line in the MTM Performance Summary above.

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.

This section appears in the Default Statement and Legacy Full Default Statement.

Wash Sales

For wash sales, the Realized P/L column will contain the net realized amount, including loss disallowed. Also, Closed Lots now appears in place of Open for closed lots for default election.
