The workspace at a glance
| Area | Use it to answer |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | What changed, why did it change, and where am I exposed? |
| Performance | How did this portfolio perform, what drove it, where is it exposed, and what income did it produce? |
| Positions | What do I own now, and how is it grouped? |
| Transactions | What trading and cash activity took place? |
| Value | How did portfolio value develop over time? |
| Cash | Where did money enter or leave the portfolio? |
| Tax Lots | Which lots are open, realized, short term, or long term? |
A useful habit
Start broad in the Dashboard, then move into the focused view that explains the number you want to understand. Your date, sorting, grouping, and display choices are remembered where doing so is helpful.
