| Capital At Start | The total across the account(s) selected for the report, of the unadjusted capital. This is comprised of the cash balance at the end of the last day before the start of the period (or the account’s opening balance if it was opened in the period), plus the gross market value of all open positions (excluding projected sell spread and charges), valued at the same time. |
| Capital At Start (ex cash-flows) | As Capital At Start, but adjusted to remove the effect of cash-flows and non-cash share movements prior to the reporting period. For reports periods that start at the account’s start-date, Capital At Start (ex cash-flows) gives the same value as Capital At Start. This is because any deposits/withdrawals or share additions/removals prior to the start-date are treated as funding transactions and their value is incorporated in the starting capital. Otherwise, Capital At Start (ex cash-flows) = Capital At Start + Withdrawals – Deposits – market value of added shares at the time they are added + market value of removed shares, calculated for any credits, debits, additions or removals that occurred before the start of the period |
| Capital At End | The total across selected account(s) of the unadjusted capital. This comprises the cash balance at the end of the period (or, if the account is closed, then just prior to any final withdrawal, or at the last end-of-day database update, whichever is sooner), plus the gross market value of all open positions, valued at close at the end of the period (excluding projected sell spread and charges). |
| Capital At End (ex cash-flows) | As Capital At End, but adjusted to remove the effect of cash-flows and non-cash share movements during the reporting period. So Capital At End (ex flows) = Capital At End + Withdrawals – Deposits – market value of added shares at the time they are added + market value of removed shares, calculated for any credits, debits, additions or removals that occurred during the period |
| Deposits | Deposits to the account, other than the initial funding deposits |
| Dividends | Total dividends paid (live sessions), or paid or ex-div, depending on settings (test sessions), in the period. Zero in test sessions if dividends are excluded |
| Last Close (p) | Last close price in the report (sub-)period, in pence. May only be used with the Share reports |
| Other Expenses | Total non-trading expenses (account charges, interest paid, other costs) |
| Other Income | Total non-trading income (interest received, nil-paid rights, other income) |
| Quantity Held | Quantity of shares held in open positions at the end of the report (sub-)period |
| Realised Value | Sum of value of positions closed in the period, including actual sell spreads and charges, and dividends (if required by settings). |
| Total Charges | Total buy and sell charges for positions opened or closed in the period |
| Total Cost (closed positions) | Sum of purchase cost of positions closed in the period. If the position was bought during the period, then this is the original cost, including spread and buy charges pro-rated for quantity remaining. If the position was bought before the period, then this is the market sale value calculated at close on the day before the start of the period (excluding projected sell spread and charges). So in both cases, it reflects the value of the position at the start, which allows profits generated within a period to be apportioned to that period. |
| Total Cost (open positions) | Sum of purchase cost of positions open at the end of the period. If the position was bought during the period, then this is the original cost, including buy charges pro-rated for quantity remaining. If the position was bought before the period, then this is the value of the position calculated at close on the day before the start of the period (excluding projected sell spread and charges). So in both cases, it reflects the value of the position at the start, which allows profits generated within a period to be apportioned to that period. |
| Total Cost (all positions) | Total Cost (open positions) + Total Cost (closed positions) for any position in the period |
| Total Value (all positions) | Unrealised Value + Realised Value |
| Unrealised Value | Sum of value of positions open at the end of the period, valued at close at the end of the period. Dividends are excluded, as they are always treated as ‘realised’. Projected sell spread and charges are excluded. |
| Withdrawals | Withdrawals from the account, other than the final withdrawal. |
