4.7. Hiding Key Stats

Sometimes you open Tradestory with someone looking over your shoulder, or share your screen in a call. Hide key stats blurs your amounts and quantities: the shares held, the amounts invested, profit and loss in rupees, and the capital and deployed figures in the summary bar. Prices and percentages stay readable, so the screen still makes sense.

The control is the eye button in the bar at the top of the screen. On a phone, it is in the menu, as Hide key stats. Choose it again, as Show key stats, to bring the figures back. Tradestory remembers your choice in that browser.

Summary​

In this chapter, we went through the positions screens in full. We:

  • read the summary bar, and saw which figures need a capital amount,
  • went through every column of the positions table, and arranged them,
  • filtered the table and acted on several positions at once,
  • looked inside a position: tranches, sales, the journal column, a price set by hand and a stop-loss of your own,
  • read Past Positions and its summary strip, and met Other Holdings,
  • and hid our figures from view.

The table shows each position as numbers. In Chapter 5, we see the same trades on a price chart.
