The "Trade History" tab in Neovest's Account+ window is designed to maintain a record of all executed orders sent from your account for the current day.
The Trade History tab also lets you combine your executed orders that share the same symbol and side (i.e., "Bought," "Buy Cover," "Sold," or "Sold Short"), which enables you to view the total share quantity and average price of your combined executed orders.
In addition, Neovest lets you track individual executed orders that are displayed in a Trade History tab in an Account+ window.
Neovest's Trade History tab contains several default display fields (i.e., "Time," "Buy/Sell," "Quantity," "Symbol," "Order Type," etc.) that provide you with essential information regarding each of your executed orders, thus enabling you to effectively monitor your executed orders.
The following information (1) provides descriptions of the default display fields in the Trade History tab, (2) explains how you may combine executed orders in the Trade History tab that share the same symbol and side, and (3) explains how you may track individual executed orders that are displayed in a Trade History tab in an Account+ window.
The following table provides descriptions of the default display fields in the Trade History tab in Neovest's Account+ window:
Feature: | Description: |
Time-Date | Shows the time and date of the order message (i.e., "Sent," "Pending," "Partial," "Canceled," etc.). |
Buy/Sell | Shows a "Bought," "Buy Cover," "Sold," or "Sold Short" for each order. |
Quantity | Shows the number of shares for each order. |

For complete descriptions of the order types that Neovest supports, refer to the "Stock Order Ticket Descriptions" section in the "Orders" chapter in Neovest's Help documentation. |
Average Price | Shows the average price of the combined orders for each symbol. Neovest calculates each average price value by dividing the total cost by the total number of shares of the combined orders for each symbol. Thus, the formula for calculating average price is [TCost ÷ TShares]. |

Reference ID | Shows the reference ID that you have assigned to each order. You may utilize reference IDs as identifiers to distinguish individual orders after they are sent from a Neovest Order Entry window and appear in a Neovest Account+ window. For information regarding how you may set reference IDs for individual orders, refer to the "Ref. IDs Tab" section in the "Order Entry Preferences" section in the "Orders" chapter in Neovest's Help documentation. |

The following table provides descriptions of the non-default display fields you may choose to add to the Trade History tab in Neovest's Account+ window by clicking with the right mouse button on an existing display field and selecting Show Fields from the menu that appears:

GLA ID | Shows the proprietary symbology identifier used by GL TRADE to identify the security associated with each order. |
ID Source | Shows the preferred ID source you specified for each order. This feature allows you to determine an appropriate ID source when a particular destination is requiring an alternate security identification. To address the needs of multiple services in the industry that create unique names for symbols, Neovest provides a number of ID sources that you may utilize to prevent potential problems that may arise with complex orders, such as when duplicate symbols appear across different countries' exchanges during international trading. When specifying your preferred ID source, you may choose from the following Neovest-specific and standard identifiers: "CUSIP," "SEDOL," "ISIN," "RIC," and "Exchange Symbol." If you specified "CUSIP" as your preferred ID source, then you are designating that you wish to enter a Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures ID number to identify an individual security for an order. If "SEDOL," then you are specifying to use a Stock Exchange Daily Official List ID number—which is the code used by the London Stock Exchange to identify foreign stocks, especially those that aren't actively traded in the U.S. and that don't have a CUSIP ID number. "ISIN" refers to an International Securities Identifying Number. "RIC" implies a proprietary symbology identifier used by Reuters. And "Exchange Symbol" denotes a proprietary symbology identifier assigned by a specific exchange will be entered. |
ISIN ID | Shows the proprietary symbology identifier used by ISIN (International Securities Identifying Number) to identify the security associated with each order. |
Last | Shows the last traded price of a particular symbol. |

When changing your preferred symbology, you may choose from such Neovest-specific and standard symbology identifiers as "NEOVEST," "ISIN," "CUSIP," "RIC," and "GLA." For information on how you may change your symbology selection, refer to the "Symbology" section in the "Menu" chapter in Neovest's Help documentation. |

The following instructions explain how you may combine executed orders in the Trade History tab that share the same symbol and side (i.e., "Bought," "Buy Cover," "Sold," or "Sold Short"), which enables you to view the total share quantity and average price of your combined executed orders.
Click and hold with the left mouse button on an executed order that you wish to combine with other executed orders that share the same symbol and side in the Trade History tab.
Drag the cursor up or down to highlight all of the orders that you wish to combine.
Once all of the orders that you wish to combine are highlighted, release the left mouse button to access the "Combine Selected Trades" box.
Note (1): The "Combine Selected Trades" box is designed to display all of the executed orders that you have selected in a Trade History tab. In addition, the "Combine Selected Trades" box displays the total share quantity and average price of all of your selected executed orders that share the same symbol and side.
Note (2): You may also utilize the Ctrl and Shift keys on your keyboard to select and combine specific executed orders that share the same symbol and side (i.e., "Bought," "Buy Cover," "Sold," or "Sold Short") in a Trade History tab. If you wish to select a number of executed orders and they are not displayed in consecutive rows in a Trade History tab, simply press and hold the Ctrl key while you click on the executed orders that you wish to combine. Additionally, if you wish to select a number of executed orders that are displayed in consecutive rows in a Trade History tab, simply click on the first order in the list of consecutive rows, then press and hold the Shift key, and then click on the last order.
Neovest also lets you track individual executed orders that are displayed in a Trade History tab in an Account+ window. The Track Order selection is available on a single menu that you may access by clicking with the right mouse button on an individual executed order in a Trade History tab.
If you access the menu and select Track Order, the "Order Tracking" window will appear and display all relevant information on the executed order on which you clicked with the right mouse button. Neovest has now divided the "Order Tracking" window into two sections. The top section displays summary data, and the bottom section displays individual order tracking information.
Neovest also lets you access a window that will show a rollup of orders per symbol based on their price levels. The Show Price Rollups selection is available on a menu that you may access by clicking with the right mouse button on an individual executed order or a string of orders in a Trade History tab.
If you access the menu and select Show Price Rollups, the "Price Rollups" window will appear and display all price rollup information relating to the order(s) upon which you right-clicked.
Note (1): Neovest lets you click and hold on a Trade History tab and drag it from an Account+ window. This functionality allows you to arrange a Trade History tab anywhere you wish on your screen. Once you have dragged a Trade History tab from an Account+ window and arranged it on your screen, you may save the configuration in a Neovest layout. Once you close an Account+ window from which you have dragged a Trade History tab, the tab itself will also close.
Note (2): Neovest lets you click with the right mouse button on any tab's name in an Account+ window to access a menu that will let you rename the tab. For instance, instead of the title "Orders Pending," you may prefer "Working Orders." Once you click with the right mouse button on an Account+ tab's name and select Rename, the "Input" box will appear. Once you enter the "New View Name" and click OK, be sure to click on the Make All New Account Windows Like This One icon in the Account+ window's toolbar to save the new name as the default.
