008: Trade Details (Part 1)
Using the input from the previous input from 007: Manually Adding Trades, with addition of adding 1 share, we now have three trades. Lets go over the Trading pane details:
- Info: Multi-use column, can be used to show different statuses of a trade. See Grouping Trades for an example display
- TradeID: Unique ID given to each row of input. See Grouping Trades for an example of use
- PC/ID: Parent/Child ID. See Grouping Trades for an example of use
- Trade Date: Date trade was placed. Entered via Adding Manual Trade or Auto Import by CSV. Non-Modifiable
- Ticker/Opt: Ticker symbol of the security. When entering an Option, use the underlying security ticker
- Notes/Description: Open Text field. When Auto Import, it will try to enter useful information
- Shares/Cont: Number of shares OR option Contracts bought OR sold
- Price/Prem: Price OR Premium of an individual shares OR options contract
SHARES & CONTRACTS are either bought (positive number) OR sold (negative number). Price/Premium is always positive.
- Type: (S)tock, (C)all, (P)ut, ($)Cash, (D)ividends, (X)fer of funds. You will also see other types when using Auto Input, which you can use too
- Exp.Date: Options expiration date. Required when entering Options.
- DTE: Days To Expiration. Number of days until option expires, based on todays date
- Strike: Strike price of the option, this is for informational purposes
- Fees: Fees paid on a transaction when reported by the broker. It's VERY important you fill this if you want to really know your tax basis. Stocklog+ will auto-fill this from the CSV file, another major reason to always import your data vs manual entry
Credit/Debit, Close Price, Settle Date are discussed in 009: Trade Details (Part 2)
DTE & CREDIT/DEBIT columns are auto-calculated fields and can't be modified directly
