The Risk & Return Tab outlines the trade results.
In this bracket order example:
10 shares were purchased at a lower entry price ($503.41) than the order price of $503.44.
6 days later, the Target of $528.66 was reached, and the close order was executed at $528.67
The Stop Order ($490.90) was cancelled automatically.
The original plan outlined a 2.01 Reward:Risk ratio. Due to the lower entry price and higher close price, the result was a slightly higher R/R of 2.02.
The Position and Plan tab offers a breakdown of the trade results.
In this example, the stock trade was executed at a better price and reached it’s target price to close, which was also at a better price. The Stop order was cancelled.
The result shows a slightly better than expected Reward: Risk ratio
