Frequently Asked Questions
Does this include taxes?
No, this shows the pre-tax profit or loss on the trade itself. Capital gains tax rules vary by country and holding period — check your local tax calculator for that estimate.
What if I bought shares in multiple lots?
Use your average buy price across all lots as the 'Buy Price per Share' for a blended result.
