Trades can easily be linked in the Journal.   This is helpful to keep related trades grouped together for easier tracking and analysis.

Some common applications include:

  • Covered Calls – keeping stock and selling Calls with different Expirations
  • Adjustment/Repair Trades
  • Other previously Unmatched trades

This feature is best used in the Life of Trade View in the Journal.

The following steps will allow you to Link Trades:  

1. After selecting your account and sorting by symbol, expand one of the trade tabs you want      to link to another trade group or set.

Click the ‘Link Icon‘

2.  A pop-up window will list the Selected (Expanded) Trade, any related trade           and Available Trade Sets for that symbol in that account.  

Note:  You can link trade sets both prior to and following your current, selected trade.
Example:  You want to link a May 2019 expired Call to April 2019 and June 2019 Covered           Call trade set.

3.  Click “Link To This Trade Set” for trade set(s) to link selected trade to, then click “Close“.

In this example, we linked an Expired May 10 2019 short call to an April and June Covered Call trade set.

After linking the trade, notice the total Profit (Loss) Amount updated, but the trade duration did not.

This is because the May Call falls in between the original April trade entry and the June expiration.

If you have more trade sets to link, repeat the previous steps as outlined.

Final note:  If you link a trade in error, simply expand the same trade tab and ‘uncheck’ the Link This Trade Set box.
