Closed Positions

Closed Positions displays information about the closing transactions made in your account for the current and previous year. Positions display on Closed Positions only if they are no longer held in your account. You can view Closed Positions for non-retirement accounts only.

The Closed Positions view returns all closing events for positions closed in the specified year for the selected account regardless of when other closing events took place. Events occurring in years other than the year specified will be displayed if they exist in the positions found to have closed in that year.
