Current Price, Current Value, and Gain/(Loss)

Current Price.  Current Price is the current price of the position, obtained from the indicated Asset File for this position.  Current Price comes from the Market Price of each item in the position.  

You can click in the Current Price field and change it.  If it was blank, you can fill it in. After a change, the program re-computes the unrealized Gain/(Loss) of this position, and updates the figures in the top section of the Account Status.   This can be useful for “what-if”ing the effects of a price change.  However, OptionVue 5 cannot re-compute the Margin Requirements in the Account Status after you change the Current Price.

Current Value.  The Current Value field displays a positive number if the liquidation of this position would result in a credit to your account; otherwise it will show a negative number (in parentheses).

Gain/(Loss) and % Gain/(Loss).  Gain/(Loss) is the Current Value minus the Cost/(Proceeds).  % Gain/(Loss) is the percentage of original cost, calculated as Current Value minus the Cost/(Proceeds) divided by the Cost/(Proceeds).
