How closed trades work
How FolioSync tracks completed stock sells, completed profit/loss, and related tax records.
Common symptoms
- A sold stock still affects portfolio totals.
- Completed profit/loss differs from current profit/loss.
- You want to review past sells separately from open holdings.
What to try first
- 1Closed trades represent completed sell activity for stock positions.
- 2FolioSync uses FIFO for stock sells, so older buy entries are closed before newer ones.
- 3Closed trades affect completed profit/loss, while open holdings affect current profit/loss.
- 4CGT records may be stored for reporting and review, but tax handling is not investment or tax advice.
- 5Open Closed Trades from the portfolio when you want to review completed sell history.
- 6If a closed trade looks wrong, review the original buy and sell transactions, dates, quantities, prices, broker charges, and CGT.
- 7Editing or deleting related transactions can recalculate closed trade results.
When opening a ticket
- Send the stock symbol, buy/sell dates, expected completed gain/loss, and screenshot.
- Attach an Excel export if several trades are involved.
