    Hi all.

    In the "portfolio" pane where open trades are shown, is there any way to display the price you bought an option for?

    I've looked through the various fields you can add (via settings) and can't figure it out.

    Thanks

    Yes, it's the 'Avg Price' column :

    Go to Edit --> Global Configurations --> Trading Tools --> Portfolio Window --> Quote Monitor
    and select the 'Avg Price' column from the list on the RHS.

    Thanks. So I did have "Avg Price" but didn't realise that was "bought/sold price", but now I know.

    The best way to see the original price that you bought the option at is either from the "Trade Log" or from your Trade Confirmation Report. They show all the original price for each individual option that you bought instead of lumping them all and just display the "avg price" especially when they are in a combo.
