How to Close a Trade

Closing your trades.

After logging in and entering your portfolio, click on the stock or option that you are trading. This will maximize the trade so that you can now see all of your trades. On the right hand side of the trade, click the button that looks like a zero. It is next to the scissors and the 'x'. A window will prompt you to fill in the closing date, closing price, and commission paid. Hit the close transaction button and the trade will refresh and close. The portfolio tracker will show you your gains and losses at this time and update the risk and profit profiles and the summary of your trade.
