The platform collects data on deals related to a position (position opening, additional volume, partial and full closure), and then combines the data into one record providing the following details:

  • The weighted average open and close prices of the position

To display the trading history in the form of positions, the platform uses information about deals executed during the requested period. A position is included into the report only if its opening date or closing date falls within the selected period. If a position was opened before the start of the selected time period and was closed after its end, this position will not be included in the report.

Positions closed by Stop Loss or Take Profit are marked with red and green vertical lines.
