Order History & Transactions

Track all your trades and transactions in one place. PiTrade provides comprehensive order history and transaction records for complete transparency and record-keeping.

Understanding Order Status

Pending

When an order is in pending status, it means your order has been submitted but has not yet been filled. The order is waiting for market conditions to be met before execution can occur. You have the ability to cancel a pending order at any time before it executes. This status is typical for market orders that are awaiting execution.

Filled

A filled order indicates that your order has been completely executed. All the shares you requested to buy or sell have been transacted at the market price. Once an order reaches filled status, the transaction is complete and the shares are either added to or removed from your portfolio accordingly.

Partially Filled

Partially filled orders occur when only a portion of your requested shares have been executed. The remaining shares are still pending and waiting for execution. You have the option to cancel the remaining shares if you no longer wish to complete the order. This status is common when placing large orders that cannot be filled all at once.

Cancelled

A cancelled order is one that you have manually cancelled before it was executed. When an order is cancelled, no shares are executed and no transaction occurs. If you cancelled a buy order, your funds are returned to your account. You can resubmit a cancelled order at any time if you wish to place the trade again.

Rejected

A rejected order is one that has been rejected by the system and was not accepted for execution. Orders can be rejected for various reasons including insufficient funds in your account or invalid order parameters. If your order is rejected, you should contact support to understand the specific reason and resolve the issue before attempting to place the order again.

Additionally, you can view the limit price if applicable, the market price at the time of submission, the estimated total cost or proceeds, the portfolio name where the order is placed, and a unique request ID for tracking purposes.

Tax Reporting

Understanding Tax Information

To properly report your taxes, you need to understand gain and loss calculations. Your cost basis is what you paid for the shares, the sale price is what you sold them for, and the gain or loss is the difference between these two amounts. It's important to distinguish between short-term gains (positions held less than one year) and long-term gains (positions held one year or more) because they are taxed at different rates. Understanding your holding period is crucial for tax planning and ensuring you report your taxes correctly.

Generating Tax Reports

PiTrade makes tax reporting easy. To generate a tax report, go to the Reports section, select Tax Report, choose the tax year you want to report, review your gains and losses, and export the report for tax filing. The capital gains report shows your short-term gains and losses, long-term gains and losses, your net gain or loss, and an estimate of your tax liability. This comprehensive report gives you everything you need for accurate tax filing.

Tax Planning Strategies

Effective tax planning can significantly reduce your tax burden. Track your cost basis carefully by keeping detailed records, noting purchase dates, tracking all fees, and calculating your basis accurately. Consider tax loss harvesting by selling losing positions to offset gains, reducing your overall tax liability while maintaining your investment strategy. For long-term positions held more than one year, you benefit from lower tax rates and better after-tax returns, so plan your holding periods accordingly and consult with a tax professional for personalized advice.

Best Practices

Monitor Regularly: Check transactions weekly, review performance monthly, adjust quarterly.

Keep Records: Save confirmations, export regularly, maintain documentation.

Organize Trades: Use filters effectively, create saved filters, track strategy.

Monitor Costs: Review fees, track commissions, calculate net returns.

Plan Taxes: Track gains/losses, plan harvesting, prepare early.
