Predefined Watch Lists
Two predefined Watch Lists are available in Active Trader Pro and ActiveTraderPro.com.
The Indices Watch List provides access to streaming real-time quotes for a predefined list of index securities. To launch the Indices Watch List, use the dropdown menu from within the watch list tool, select Watch List, then select Indices. This predefined list of indices cannot be customized, but any index symbol can be added to one of your custom watch lists.
The Futures Watch List provides access to delayed streaming quotes for 29 predefined front-month futures contracts. Streaming quotes are delayed by 10 minutes. The front-month contract will automatically roll to the next month's contract upon expiration. It will also roll to the next contract month when the next contract month has an open interest that is more than twice that of the current month, or where the next contract month has a larger trading volume than the current month. To launch the Futures Watch List, use the dropdown menu from within the Watch List tool, select Watch List, then select Futures.

Positions Summary
- Topline Totals – Get the total market value, gain/loss since previous close (today's gain/loss) and gain/loss since purchase (total gain/loss) for positions in the account from the topline positions summary data, located above the positions grid. Mouse over the Market Value balance field to get the Total Account Value balance and to view any pending activity not reflected in the Market Value (e.g. Cash Debit or Cash Credit from Unsettled Activity, Margin Debit or Credit balance, etc.)
- Bottomline Totals – Use the totals displayed below your positions to view Today's Gain/Loss, Total Gain/Loss, Basis, and Market Value for the positions displayed in the grid.

Show/Hide Security Types
To hide security types from the positions display, such as cash or mutual funds, select the Manage menu located at the top right corner of the Positions tool, choose Show/Hide Security types and un-check the security types you want to exclude, then click Apply. Note: The list of security types displayed is dynamic based on your account holdings. The totals displayed below your positions will exclude positions you've elected to hide.

Viewing Lots
If lot information for a position is available, there will be a View Lots selection available from the Right Click Menu or from the Action menu, located to the right of the symbol. Select View Lots to see detailed lot information for your position.

Positions Heat Map
Use the position heat map to visualize your holdings based on Today's Gain/Loss, Total Gain/Loss, Volume, Yield and P/E Ratio. Select the icons located to the right of the Positions dropdown to switch between traditional list and heat map views.
The size of each individual security box is based on the account concentration of a position. The color scale is dynamic with the brightest colors being assigned to the securities with the highest/lowest value. For example, the position with the brightest green on Today's Gain/Loss % heat map represents the security with the largest percentage gain since close. Some additional features to keep in mind:
- Hover over a security box to get a tool tip with quote and other relevant information. (This is particularly helpful if the box is too small to display the symbol.)
- Use the filter located above the heat map to group securities by symbol or sector. Group by Symbol to organize your equity and option positions for an underlying symbol in one area of the heat map. Group by Sector to organize your positions by sector; this may help give an indication of your overall portfolio exposure to each sector.
- Select the Show/Hide Security Type feature from the Manage menu, located at the top right corner of Positions, to control the security types displayed in the heat map. For example, let's say you have 50% of your account in Cash. This would take up 50% of the real estate on the heat map. Hide the cash position to get a better visual on your other holdings.
- Use the right-click menu to take additional actions such as seeding a trade ticket or charting the security.

Wash Sale Treatment
If there was a wash sale for a transaction, a W will be displayed to the right of the symbol, with disallowed loss information available on hover. To show unadjusted cost basis information for your open positions, go to Settings or right click on a column header and select the desired fields: Unadjusted Price, Unadjusted Basis, Unadjusted Tdy G/L, Unadjusted G/L. If you do not see these fields, please call Fidelity at 800.544.6666 for assistance.
