Open P/L: this is the monetary value of your current position. Open average: this is the average price of your current position; i.e. if you are long 2 and you bought one at 5862 and one at 5912, you average purchase price is (5862 + 5912)/2 = 5887 Closed P/L: this is the profit or loss that you have banked and includes the commission costs. No of contracts: this is the total number of contracts that you have bought and sold and does not include your open position. Average profit: this is the closed P/L / no of contracts, it is the average profit for your closed position. Example: lets us say that I have bought a total of 20 contracts and sold a total of 15. I now have an open position of 5 contracts (I am long 5) and a closed out position of 15 contracts. 85 History |
