It is important to keep accurate records of your trades and with Your SOFTWARE you can maintain precise, up to date details of all of your trading activities.
Your SOFTWARE has three portfolio management tools that help you to manage your trading.
The Portfolio Manager lets you record not only your trades but also any other activities related to your investments, and lets you view the value of your accounts using the latest price data. You can also generate accurate reports for taxation and account keeping purposes.
In the management window securities are organized into Accounts, each of which contains a Portfolio. Normally an account will be set up for each brokerage account that you have.
The amount of cash held on account can be varied by the user to reflect amounts actually invested with the broker, and debits from the account.
Trades are entered manually, and a link to the broker accounts manager (see below), populates the details of the costs of the trade.
Historical details of past trading activity can also be entered and the current position of those securities monitored in the portfolio. Non-trading events which affect the securities in your portfolios, such capital adjustments like stock splits and dividend reinvestment, are able to be entered.
For each portfolio the positions, trades, transactions and orders can be viewed in detail.
Using the Portfolio Manager, users can manage all of their investment activity in one convenient spot and have all the values updated regularly.
Your SOFTWARE provides a number of predefined and preformatted reports which output details of your portfolios to your printer, they can be viewed or printed at any time.
The Report feature in Your SOFTWARE allows you to create reports for any period of time, enabling you to generate reports for a financial year or a specific trading period.
