IB uses average cost on their TWS, same with Schwab. It is only when you go to sell that you can click which lot to sell. I am looking at a platform to show me my different lots and how much I have lost or gained in different lots. Can anyone help? thanks!
Nobody. While we might attempt it and find it insightful on various/individual *investments*, it would quickly balloon to unmanageable size with even the smallest amount of actual trading.
On Fidelity website, when you click on a position, you can choose "Purchse History/Lots". Under that, you see all your lots and different prices and up to the minute gains/losses. I didn't think it was a big deal, until I switched to a broker who didn't have this feature and it is really hurting my trading.
As an economist, I can tell you, it don' mattah a'tall. Whether you're thinking about iron ore, rail miles, labor inputs -- or entering or exiting a trade: wise decisions are made at the margin, not the average. (This would be, like, Rule #2 of All Things Econ -- right after T.A.N.S.T.A.A.F.L.)
What does this setting do ? Complex (Multi-Leg) Positions Group legs into complex positions/Hide complex positions - Elect to "Group" legs to show the position as a single combination strategy. Elect to "Hide" complex positions to display legs individually
They are not options. They are long/short equity trades. They told me I can write it under "notes" but I want the p/L calculated for me in real time.
