Introduction

The Trade Summary is a consolidated report which summarizes individual trade, account, and cash information for a single account or rebalancing group.

While the Rebalance Summary offers a visual representation of trades, listed in context of models, the Trade Summary shows this information with more focus on specific trade and cash information. You can add additional columns to customize your view of trades and cash for individual accounts or rebalancing groups.

To view similar information across all accounts, use the Trade Review.
