Custom Grouping

Wanting to customize how your positions are grouped? Now you are able to! We have added a new feature that will allow custom grouping of positions up to 4 legs. This will allow you to group shares, options, futures and options on futures into groups you wish to look at. 


What can be grouped?

Any positions of the same underlying can be grouped on the platform together.

  • Shares and options
  • Options and options
  • Futures and options on futures 
  • Options on futures and options on futures
Any adjustment require a custom group to be ungrouped and then regrouped. Rolls and closed positions that are a part of a custom group will erase the custom group.

Once the positions tab is set to custom grouping, each position will initially group under its symbol row. Tap on the symbol row to view all positions in the underlying, and then tab the legs you wish to group (up to 4 legs). Once two or more legs are selected, a quick action menu will appear. Under the INFO section, tap on the Group Positions Button. All selected legs will be grouped, and the platform will prompt you to type in a group name. Enter the group name and then tap the green Group Positions button to save.  

To ungroup, tap on an established group name or group header to select the entire group. Once the quick action menu appears, tap on Ungroup Positions to ungroup all legs. Individual legs cannot be ungrouped or added to an established group.
