Entry History: Granular Tracking for Opening and Add-On Transactions
The Entry History page serves as a comprehensive, transaction-level ledger designed to track every opening and add-on purchase across both your current and historical portfolio positions. Unlike aggregate position summaries, this view provides an unfiltered look at how and when your portfolio data was recorded in the system.

Understanding Your Entry History Ledger
Every transaction that establishes or adds to a position is detailed row-by-row, providing complete visibility into your logged data. The ledger organizes your trade data through several core parameters designed to give you maximum clarity and analytical capability:
Trade ID & Type: Each transaction is assigned a unique identifier alongside its position type (Buy/Long or Sell/Short), ensuring every opening move is distinctly traceable.
Symbol, Security Type, & Exchange: Quickly identify the exact asset, asset class (such as stocks, ETFs, or crypto), and the specific market exchange associated with the imported transaction record.
Data Source: Know instantly whether a trade was imported automatically through your connected brokerages (such as Fidelity or Schwab) or logged manually into the platform.
Open Price & Quantity: View the recorded price per share or unit alongside the exact volume of your initial or add-on purchase to ensure your cost-basis calculations remain transparent.
Cost Basis: Aggregates your entry price and quantity mathematically to display total capital associated with that specific transaction record, helping you assess position sizing visually.
Open Date & Days Since Open: Records the exact calendar date the trade was initiated and displays the elapsed holding time, which updates daily.
Analyzing "Days Since Open" Data
The Days Since Open metric provides an objective, calendar-based display of your holding periods:
Duration Tracking: View the exact time elapsed since your initial transaction record to maintain an organized historical timeline of your portfolio data.
Historical Assessments: This metric serves as a baseline for mathematical performance calculations, allowing you to review historical holding durations across various positions.
Record-Keeping Organization: Tracking duration parameters helps organize short-term versus long-term transaction data, supporting cleaner organization for tax and accounting preparation.
Managing Your Data
The Entry History table acts as your primary utility interface for managing trade records:
Brokerage-Sourced Trades: Because records from connected accounts are managed securely via your financial institutions, data imported from third-party aggregators (such as Plaid or SnapTrade) is read-only to preserve raw data integrity.
Manual Entries: For self-managed entries, you retain full operational control. Clicking the horizontal ellipses icon on any manual row opens the Trade Options menu, allowing you to edit, close, or delete that specific data entry.
Highlight: Why Entry Granularity Matters
By isolating your opening and add-on transactions across both active and closed positions, the Entry History page simplifies complex transaction records. It provides a structured, transaction-level audit trail to review your historical entry data while offering seamless control over your manually logged trades.
Note on Data Accuracy: Orizon Analytics is a read-only software utility and does not execute trades, move funds, or hold assets. Dashboard metrics are mathematical calculations based on imported user data. Users should independently verify all calculations and metrics against official brokerage statements before making independent trading decisions elsewhere.
