An open position's average price seen in PropReports reflects the most recent execution prices for all shares that have yet to be closed out. If an overnight position is day traded, the matching day traded shares will not affect the average price of the open position at close of the day. This is because of the intra-day and overnight FIFO methodology PropReports uses, as described above.
For a clear example please review the table below:
| Lot | Day | Type | Qty | Price | Position | Average Price | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Monday | Buy | 1000 | $10.00 | 1000 | $10.00 | |
