Dashboard

Your trading performance is updated automatically each time you add a new trade, dividend or update the market prices. The Dashboard provides a summary of key performance measures to help assess how you trading strategies are performing. Combined with the Filter you can analyse and report on all your trades, just a single portfolio and even a single trade.
