Paired Positions
Margin requirements and market values related to positions where stock, convertible bonds, or convertible preferred stocks are used in the pairings.
Parabolic SAR
The Parabolic Time/Price System developed by Welles
Wilder is used to set price stops and it is usually referred to as the stop-and-reversal (SAR)
indicator.
The system is designed to allow more leeway or tolerance for contratrend price fluctuation early in a new trade, then to progressively tighten a protective trailing stop order as the trend matures.
To accomplish this, it employs a series of progressively shorter, exponentially smoothed moving averages each period that price moves to a new extreme in the expected trend direction.
The Parabolic SAR provides excellent exit points. You should close long positions when the price falls below the SAR and close short positions when the price rises above the SAR.
If you are long (i.e., the price is above the SAR), the SAR will move up every day, regardless of the direction the price is moving. The amount the SAR moves up depends on the amount that prices move.
This concept is explained thoroughly in Wilder's book, New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems.
Passbook Savings Account
A type of savings account that requires the account owner to present the passbook to the bank with each deposit and withdrawal.
Par Amount
For a Certificate of Deposit (CD), this is the stated
value of a CD at maturity.
Additionally, other securities (e.g., bonds) have par amounts.
Partially Filled Order
An order for which a portion of the shares to
purchase or sell have been executed, but not all.
Participation Rate
The extent to which an investor will participate in the potential appreciation or depreciation of an underlying index or basket of securities. Generally a feature of structured products. If the participation rate of the structured product is less than 100%, the investor will realize a return that is less than the return of the linked index or customized basket. For example, if the participation rate is 80%, the investor will receive only 80% of any positive return on the index or basket, assuming no other limits on return potential. The participation rate will vary by product, and factors such as index type, maturity, and caps affect the rate.
Par Value
The stated value of an investment at maturity.
Includes bonds, life insurance policies, bank notes, currency, some stocks, and other securities. Typically $1,000 for a corporate bond.

indicates that the bank routing information for a bank is in the process of being verified. Generally,
the verification is complete after 7-10 calendar days.
Pending Cancel
An order status indicating that you placed a request to cancel an open order, but the order has not yet been canceled. Attempts to cancel orders are performed on a best efforts basis. There is no guarantee that an open order can be canceled, in whole or in part.
Pending Open
This is an order status that can display
for an order to sell
short.
Short sale orders are good for the day only and may be reviewed by a Fidelity representative to determine the availability of shares. While the order is being reviewed, the order will remain in a Pending Open status.
If shares are available to sell short, the status changes to Open until the order executes. If not, Fidelity will attempt to contact you and the order is canceled.
An indication that intra-day activity is taking place on an equity you own.
P/E Ranges
The price to earnings (P/E) ratio
ranges display the range of the stock's P/E ratio over given
periods of time. This indicator is only available when you
choose weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly time periods to
chart.
Once you have chosen a time period and time frame to chart, the indicator will display solid bars showing the high and low range of the stock's P/E ratio during each time period.
P/E Ratio
This is the last closing share
price divided by the earnings per share based on the trailing
4 quarters of earnings.
P/E Ratio, 5-Year High
The P/E Ratio
for each of the past 60 months is calculated using the month
end price divided by the trailing twelve month (TTM) earnings

for each of the past 60 months is calculated using the month
end price divided by the trailing twelve month (TTM) earnings
per share (EPS) excluding extraordinary items ending the last
1 month earlier than the pricing date. The lowest of these 60
P/E values is the 5-year low price earnings ratio.
%
Refers to one part in a hundred.
% Change
In a watch list:
% Compare
The % Compare indicator shows the relative
performance of symbols that you compare to your chart's focus symbol. It creates a baseline, i.e., your
chart's focus symbol, around which all other stocks, mutual funds, and indexes are compared.
For example, if you apply IBM as your focus symbol and then in the "compare to" section add MSFT, the % Compare indicator will display IBM as a flat line in the middle of the indicator window with MSFT's performance plotted relative to IBM.
If MSFT's line rises above IBM, it means that MSFT is outperforming IBM. If it falls below IBM, it means that MSFT is under performing IBM.
Note: This indicator is useful because it returns the final percentage by which the compared symbols underperformed or outperformed the focus symbol, i.e., IBM in the example above.
% Gain
For a security listed in a watch list, this is the
percentage difference between the purchase price per share x share quantity and the last price quoted for
the security.
% Long Term Debt to Total Capitalization
Shows the relative position of lenders and investors
in a business over the long term.
The calculation is: long term debt / (long term debt + stockholders equity).
Theoretically, the lower the % Long Term Debt to Total Capitalization, the more cash can be reinvested into the company vs. paying interest on debt.
% of Total Basket Value
The percentage allocated to each position in the basket.
% Short Interest
The % Short Interest indicator is updated monthly and
is only available on NYSE listed stocks. A stock's short interest is determined by dividing the number of
shares sold short (as reported by the NYSE exchange) divided by the number of shares outstanding
multiplied by 100.
Many traders watch short interest closely. As the % Short Interest indicator rises, it reflects a heightening bearish sentiment among investors. As it falls, it suggests that short sellers are becoming more bullish on the stock's short-term price movements.
It is common for some traders to use the % Short Interest indicator as a contrary indicator. Often times, as the % Short Interest indicator climbs higher, and if the stock price continues to rise, there will be pressure on the short sellers to cover their positions by buying shares in the stock thereby increasing the price even further.
Performance Adjustment
The adjustment of the target shares/units and dividends (if applicable) as a result of the performance percentage you have achieved.
Performance End Date

Period Ending
On the Historical Analysis screen, this
is the year and month that end the period for which market returns are
shown. These returns are the best or worst returns over a
number of different years during a 35-year period.
The analysis uses your portfolio's or one or more selected accounts' asset-allocation mix to calculate the percentages. Then, the historical performance information is calculated for that asset allocation using general market indexes.
Personal Investing

Pre-fill by Highest Cost Shares
For specific share trades, choose
this option if you want Fidelity to sort and pre-select your
specific shares based on the tax lots with the highest cost
basis per share information. This option generally results in
the lowest capital gain or highest capital loss. Cost basis
and unrealized gain/loss information used to perform this
function is based on the prior business day's closing price or
Net Asset Value (NAV) for the security traded. Fidelity does
not guarantee that selecting this option will achieve desired
outcome.
Pre-fill by Lowest Cost Shares
For specific share trades, choose
this option if you want Fidelity to sort and pre-select your
specific share shares based on the tax lots with the lowest
cost basis per share information. Cost basis and unrealized
gain/loss information used to perform this function is based
on the prior business day's closing price or Net Asset Value
(NAV) for the security traded. Fidelity does not guarantee
that selecting this option will achieve desired
outcome.
Pre-fill by Minimizing Gain/Loss
For specific share trades, choose
this option if you want Fidelity to sort and pre-select your
specific shares with the intent of providing a $0.00 gain or
loss amount. Fidelity will attempt to identify high cost basis
and low cost basis shares that if sold, would result in a
$0.00 capital gain or loss. Cost basis and unrealized
gain/loss information used to perform this function is based
on the prior business day's closing price or Net Asset Value
(NAV) for the security traded. Fidelity does not guarantee
that selecting this option will achieve desired outcome.
Premarket Session
The Premarket trading session is
available through the Electronic
Communications Network (ECN) in which Fidelity
participates via Fidelity.com. It will not be available
through Fidelity's Automated Service Telephone (FAST®), other
online services, or through Fidelity representatives.
During a portion of Fidelity's Premarket session, only those participating ECNs with links to the ECN and participating market makers will be accessible for order execution.
Premarket quotes obtained from Fidelity.com will only reflect the prices available in the ECN.
ECN orders for the Premarket session can be placed from 7:30 to 9:15 a.m. Eastern Time. ECN orders can only be displayed and executed after 8 a.m. Eastern Time. REDIBook is the primary destination for Premarket orders. From 7:30 to 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time, orders are queued at Fidelity. At 8 a.m., Fidelity transmits orders to the ECN and the transmitted orders are queued at REDIBook according to the time received and the specified limit price.
After 8 a.m., Fidelity continues to send orders to the ECN in the order in which Fidelity receives them until 9:15 a.m. unless trading is halted prior to 9:15 a.m.
In the event that REDIBook is unavailable at the regular time for the Premarket session, orders may be queued at Fidelity in the order in which they are received to be submitted to another eligible ECN to which Fidelity is linked.
Premium
The amount above the stated 'face'
or par value when a fixed-income security (e.g., a bond) is bought or sold. For example, if a bond's face value is $1,000 and it sells for $1,200, it was sold at a premium.
Pre-Refunded
For purposes of certain tax and securities laws and regulations, a refunding in which the refunded issue remains outstanding for a period of more than 90 days after the issuance of the refunding issue. Typically, such refunded bonds are secured solely by an escrow funded with the proceeds of the refunding bonds. The proceeds of the refunding issue are generally invested in Treasury securities or federal agency securities (although other instruments are sometimes used), with principal and interest from these investments being used (with limited exceptions) to pay principal and interest on the refunded issue. Bonds are “escrowed to maturity” when the proceeds of the refunding issue are deposited in an escrow account for investment in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the issue being refunded on the original interest payment and maturity dates, although in some cases an issuer may expressly reserve its right (pursuant to certain procedures delineated by the SEC) to exercise an early call of bonds that have been escrowed to maturity. Bonds are considered “prerefunded” when the refunding issue’s proceeds are escrowed only until a call date or dates on the refunded issue, with the refunded issue redeemed at that time. The Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder restrict the yield that may be earned on investment of the proceeds of an advance refunding issue.
Pre-Refunded Bonds
A municipal bond that is secured by an escrow fund. The escrow fund comes from the issuer floating a second bond issue and using the proceeds from that second bond issue to purchase government obligations, typically U.S. Treasuries, proceeds from the second bond issue create an escrow fund to mature at the first call date of the first bond issue to pre-refund that issue. Bond issuers will typically do this during times of lower interest rates to lower their interest costs.
Pre-Refunded Price
The value, in par terms, at which the security shall be redeemed.
PreTEFRA Basis
TEFRA stands for the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982. Pre-TEFRA Cost Basis is the total remaining portion of all the Investments that were made into a non-qualified annuity prior to August 14, 1982
Prevailing Market Price (PMP)
For secondary market bonds and CDs viewable online, PMP is the contemporaneous cost, which is the displayed bid or offer price at which the bond is offered at on Fidelity.com. For secondary market bonds and CDs not viewable online, PMP is calculated based on the inter-dealer market price prevailing at the time of the customer transaction.
Previous Close
The final trading price for a security at the end of the most recent trading day.
Previous Close Date
The date on which the previous close
price was calculated. For Fidelity annuity investment options,
this information is not applicable.
Previous Daily Unit Value
For Fidelity variable annuity investment option quotes, this is the
value of the investment option as of the close of trading on
the last trading day before the daily unit value was calculated.
For example, if the daily unit value was last calculated on Thursday, the previous unit value would have been as of Wednesday.
Previous Daily Unit Value Date
This is date as of which the previous
daily unit value was last calculated. This is the last
trading day before the date on which the daily
unit value was last calculated.
Previous Factor
The factor one month ago. See Factor for more information."

Prev NAV Date
The date on which the previous net
asset value for a security was calculated.
Previous Price
The price of one share of a security at the close of market on the date shown.
Note: Fidelity values long positions in Over the Counter (OTC) pink sheet and bulletin board stocks in customer accounts at the low sale for the day, or the low bid for the day if the stock did not trade. Short positions in OTC pink sheet and bulletin board stocks are priced at the high sale price for the day, or the high offer if the stock did not trade.
The total market value of a position based on previous close price.
Previous Value is calculated by multiplying Quantity and Previous Price, and the result is truncated at two decimals. Because of this truncation, Previous Value may differ from Most Recent Value by a penny for inactive securities or during non-market hours.
Price
The price specified for a certain type of order.
For fixed income securities (e.g., bonds), this is the price for the security. Sometimes this is expressed as a percentage of the par value.

Note: Please read Stop Orders.
For a:
Price Change YTD
The percentage increase or decrease in
the price of a company's stock for the current year as of the
date displayed.
Price Channel
Price channel is one of the simplest and
oldest trend-following models. It requires no
calculations.
The rules are: Buy when the weekly closing price moves up to a new 20-period high; sell and sell short when the weekly closing price moves down to a new 20-period low. In other words, when the price moves out if its n-period range, go in the direction of this new trend.
Despite its simplicity, Price Channel can be reasonably effective.
Price Display
The price display drop-down box allows
you to chart historical price data in a variety of ways. All
of the choices in this section will only affect the price
chart of your focus security. The options include:
Price Per Ounce
The price per ounce that you estimate
paying for a trade order to buy or sell ounces of a precious
metal. This is used for the purposes of calculating the
estimated commission for a precious metal order.
To place orders for precious metals, call a Fidelity representative at 1-800-544-6666.
Price Per Unit
This is the price for one unit of a portfolio (e.g., Unique
Portfolio 2015, DE Portfolio 2018) in a College Savings Plan
account as of the date and time displayed.
Price Range
This is the dollar range within which the
price for a new
issue, fixed-income offering (e.g., bond) is expected to
be set.
When entering an indication of interest, either the price range or yield range is displayed. The type of range that displays varies by offering.
Price Tier
Depending on the quantity of bonds
purchased, customers may receive a price improvement. The
price tier column indicates the round and odd lot price
and yields.
Price Type
A price restriction that is placed
on the execution of an order.
Not all price types are valid with all types of orders.
Price types can include:
* For an indication of interest in a new issue offering, the type is Market.
Pricing Date
For a new issue fixed-income security, the date on which the price was set.
Primary Country
The country in which the trading market resides, for the primary SEDOL identifier for the bond.
Primary Exchange
The exchange (e.g., New York Stock Exchange) where a security is primarily purchased or sold.
For Fidelity annuity investment options, this is not applicable and N/A displays in the Primary Exchange field.
Primary Order
The order upon which the execution of the secondary order in a conditional trade, such as a One Triggers the Other (OTO) trade, depends.
Primary Sort by Term
Choose a term sort if you wish to group
your shares by holding period. Short-term shares have a
holding period of less than one year and are generally taxed
at a higher federal tax rate. Long term shares have a holding
period of greater than one year and are generally taxed at a
lower tax rate than short-term shares.
Prime Rate
Prime Rate is the interest rate charged by banks to their most creditworthy customers. The rate is almost always the same amongst major banks. Adjustments to the prime rate are made by banks at the same time; although, the prime rate does not adjust on any regular basis. The Prime Rate is usually adjusted at the same time and in correlation to the adjustments of the Fed Funds Rate.
Principal Cost
Sum of all of the bonds being purchased as part of the ladder. This cost is for new bonds being purchased only.
Any existing positions included in the ladder are not reflected in the cost.
Principal Gain/Loss
For bond ladders: The difference between the Total Par Value and Principal Cost indicating the gain or loss from
the principal of the bonds.
Prior Business Day's Close
This is one of the fair market value options that
displays on the Exercise Grant Order Entry screen for an order
to exercise stock options. This value means that your stock option plan uses the stock's
prior trading day's closing price to calculate the:
Priority
This is a field on the Tax Lots
Specified Lot Detail screen. This field displays numbers
assigned to the tax lots from which shares will be traded when
the order executes. The tax lot shares are traded according to
the numbers assigned, lot number 1 shares are sold first, lot
number 2 shares are sold second, etc.
In many cases, an order can execute with the full share amount sold all at once. In some cases, (e.g., with thinly traded stocks or options, or large share quantities), an order may be partially executed. This is when the priority you specify is useful, because it sets the order in which the tax lot shares are sold.
Note that Fidelity does not validate tax lot shares you manually enter under Enter Lots or tax lots with the Cost Basis Source of Customer. Ultimately it is your responsibility to maintain accurate tax lot records.
Privately Held Company
This is a company that is not traded on a
public stock exchange or market (e.g., New York Stock Exchange
or Nasdaq).
Private Placement Transaction
This refers to the sale of securities
directly to an investor (e.g., an institutional investor). If
the investor purchases the securities with the intent to hold
rather than sell them at a profit, the transfer of assets does
not need to be registered with the Securities Exchange
Commission.
For example, a company wants to raise cash for expansion or acquisitions but does not want to sell the securities to many investors in the stock markets. The company sells shares of stock directly to a venture capitalist or an individual investor who wants to have ownership in the company.
Proceeds (net)
The total amount of money that resulted from the trade, less commissions.
Proceeds (gross)
The total amount of money that resulted from the trade.
Proceeds Adjustment
An adjustment made to the amount of proceeds resulting from the exercise of a
put or a call.
If a call is exercised and the underlying stock sold, the amount realized on the sale, i.e., the proceeds, is increased by the premium amount received for the call when determining a gain or loss. If a put is exercised, the amount realized on the sale of the underlying stock is reduced by the cost of the put when determining the gain or loss.
Proceeds Availability Date
The date on which the proceeds from a grant or award exercise are available in your Fidelity account.
Proceeds Distribution Method
Defines how net cash proceeds from a transaction will be distributed to you. The method of distribution depends on your company's plan rules, and may include an automated distribution to you through your company's payroll or a deposit into your Fidelity brokerage account.
Proceeds Election
The percentages of shares and cash that you will receive when exercising a grant or award. Your plan rules may determine these percentages, or you may be able to decide how you receive your proceeds (cash, shares, or a combination) upon exercise.
Proceeds Gross
The total amount of money that resulted from the trade.
Product Name
This refers to the plan type for an annuity (e.g., Retirement Reserves plan).
Profit
On a multi-leg options tool, the gain, in percentage form, you would like to receive over the life of the options given a particular multi-leg options trading strategy. Profit is a hypothetical number, based on what the strategy could earn based on the imputed underlying move. This profit is not guaranteed.
Profit/Loss
The amount of profit or loss realized as a result of the closing transaction. Profit or loss is calculated based on the proceeds received from the sale less the cost of the shares. The cost of the shares sold is determined in first in, first out order, which is the first shares acquired are the first shares sold for determining the profit or loss for the sale.
Fidelity provides cost and associated Profit/Loss ($ and %) information to you as a courtesy service. Retirement account Cost and associated Profit/Loss information should not be used for tax-reporting purposes. The profit/loss amount listed for each closing transaction is an estimated value based on the proceeds amount from the sale less the cost amount recorded by Fidelity (not including reinvestments or dividends or capital gains). Fidelity makes no warranties with respect to, and specifically disclaims any liability arising out of your use of, or any position taken in reliance upon, Fidelity-provided cost information.
