I spend a moderate amount of extra time keeping my transactions separate on a spreadsheet. My main concern is the need for a clear record of OV exits. I try to exit when OV does. I found out the hard way not to second guess OV and hold on for a better exit price. I also use the spreadsheet to keep track of any "filtered" positions I may take which will not be reflected on OV's "Trades" page in the "Open Position" section (easy to miss a "filtered trade" exit without some way to keep track). I normally try to use the TP for exits although it does not always see all of them. Normally, I can't use the TP for entry orders because it dos'nt see the "filtered" openers, nor closers for that matter, nor does it see my often modified share count. Probably way more than you wanted but hope it helps. Fred [Edited by Fred Gordon on 11/1/2013 1:33 PM] | |
