Positions #

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:

  • Position opening and closing time determined by the first and last trade respectively
  • Position volume. If part of the position was closed, the record contains the closed volume and the source volume
  • The weighted average open and close prices of the position
  • The total financial result of deals related to the position (swaps and commissions are not included)

To display the trading history as 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.
