Year To Date Sales displays the positions that have closed during the previous calendar year. You can also display Year To Date sales information for the previous calendar year.
Any closing transaction (sales, transfers, etc.) that occurred in the current year displays on Year To Date Sales, regardless of whether you still hold that position in your account. You can view this information for the current or previous year.
Profit or loss is calculated when you sell (or close) a position in your account. The profit or loss is based on the proceeds you received when the security was sold, less the cost of the shares. If you sell (or exchange) a portion of your shares, the cost is based on a first in, first out order. In other words, the first shares you acquired will be the first shares sold. For re-investments, the cost will be counted as $0.00 when calculating profit or loss.
