Avg Gain/Closed Winning PositionThe average realised gain per profitable position closed in the period = Realised Gain / Num Closed Positions (wins)
Avg Gain/Open Winning PositionThe average unrealised gain per profitable position still open at the end of the period =  Unrealised Gain / Num Open Positions (winning)
Avg Gain/Winning PositionThe average realised or unrealised gain per profitable position in the period = Total Gain / Number Of Winning Positions
Avg Loss/Closed Losing PositionThe average realised loss per losing position closed in the period = Realised Loss / Num Closed Positions (losses)
Avg Loss/Open Losing PositionThe average unrealised loss per losing position still open at the end of the period =  Unrealised Loss / Num Open Positions (losing)
Avg Loss/Losing PositionThe average realised or unrealised loss per losing position in the period = Total Loss / Number Of Losing Positions
Avg Profit/Closed PositionThe average realised profit (gain or loss) per position closed in the period = Realised Trading Profit / Number Of Closed Positions
Avg Profit/Open PositionThe average unrealised profit (gain or loss) per position still open at the end of the period = Unrealised Trading Profit / Number Of Open Positions
Avg Trading Profit/PositionThe average realised or unrealised trading profit (gain or loss) per position, in the period = Total Trading Profit (all positions) / Number Of Positions
Current Avg SpreadCurrent average of daily time-weighted average spreads for a share, based on bid-offer data and with each daily average averaged over the period defined in Trading Costs (or the default spread set in Trading Costs, if the average spread could not be calculated)
Max Loss On Any PositionMaximum Total Loss for any single position closed at a loss in the period, or open at a loss at the end of the period
Max Loss DateDate the Max Loss occurred
Max Loss % On Any PositionMaximum Total Loss for any single position closed at a loss in the period, or open with a loss at the end of the period, as a percentage of the cost of the position
Max In-Pos. Loss (closed win)Greatest unrealised loss suffered in any winning position, before it was closed. This is defined as the position’s cost (original cost, or value at start of period), less the quantity held multiplied by the lowest price while the position was held (so the loss is shown as a positive number). The loss excludes spread, projected charges and dividends. This is a measure of the worst pain that might be suffered on any one position, which then turned profitable. It can be used to help determine a stop-loss threshold for your positions.
Max In-Position Loss DateDate the Max In-Pos. Loss (closed win) occurred
Max In-Pos. Loss % (clsd win)Same as the Max In-Pos. Loss (closed win) but expressed as a percentage of the position cost.
Realised Trading ProfitSum of Realised ValueTotal Cost (closed positions) for positions closed at a profit in the period. Note that in period reports, each period’s value is the profit generated and realised within the period.
Realised GainSum of Realised ValueTotal Cost (closed positions) for positions closed at a profit in the period. Note that in period reports, each period’s value is the gain generated and realised within the period.
Realised LossSum of  -(Realised ValueTotal Cost (closed positions)) for positions closed at a loss in the period. This values is shown as a positive number. Note that in period reports, each period’s value is the loss generated and realised within the period.
Total GainUnrealised Gain + Realised Gain
Total LossSum of Unrealised Loss + Realised Loss for any position in the period
Total ProfitThis is calculated as: Total Trading Profit + Other IncomeOther Expense. It is equivalent to Capital At EndCapital At Start + Withdrawals Deposits; or, alternatively, Capital At End (ex flows)Capital At Start (ex flows) + market value of added shares at the time they are added – market value of removed shares
Total Trading ProfitTotal Value (all positions)Total Cost (all positions). Includes dividends (if specified) but does NOT include non-trading income (e.g. Interest Received), or expenses (e.g. Interest Paid, Account Charges)
Total Annualised ProfitTotal Profit / fractional years in the period
Total Trading ChargesSum of the transaction charges (buy and sell) incurred during the period
Unrealised GainSum of Unrealised ValueTotal Cost (open positions) for open positions that showed a profit at the end of the period. Note that in period reports, each period’s value is the gain generated and realised within the period.
Unrealised LossSum of  -(Unrealised ValueTotal Cost (open positions)) for open positions that showed a loss at the end of the period. This values is shown as a positive number. Note that in period reports, each period’s value is the loss generated and realised within the period.
Unrealised Trading ProfitUnrealised ValueTotal Cost (open positions). Note that in period reports, each period’s value is the profit generated within the period but not realised in the period.
