To view only current positions click the check mark next Positions at the top of the Positions window.

To view both current positions and pending orders click the check mark next both Positions and Orders at the top of the Positions window.

To see a history (log) of positions for up to three years, check the tickbox next to Today. Click the drop down menu and choose a time span over which to view positions.

The window now displays all positions (all activity or only trading activity)  for the selected time span (e.g. last 30 days).

The normal view of multi-legged options in the Positions window is as a single position (e.g. Put Spreads 1 position as opposed to 2 individual legs). To view each of the legs of multi-legged options, check the tickbox next to Show Legs.

Sort (rank) positions using any of the columns in the Positions window. The exanple below sorts all positions in the account over the last 30 days by Unrealized P& L (net unrealized gains or losses on position to date). This ranks the orders from those with the largest potential gains to those with the largest potential losses.

To add more columns to your Positions Window, click the Add Column icon and choose Add Value Column for the available categories. (Condition columns and column sets can be created from this menu. Also, you can Replace/Edit/Save column sets.)

Click Add Value Column to open the Library of available fields. The Trading Section specifically contains column choices that apply directly to positions. Simply click on a selected item to add as a sortable column to the Positions window.
