Editing or Deleting trades and adjustments

To edit or delete buy and sell trades, as well as automatically generated adjustments for any holding in your Sharesight portfolio:

1 – On the Portfolio Overview Page, click on the holding.

3 – A pop up window is presented to Edit the trade fields as required or Delete it.

4 – Click the ‘Save changes’ button.

Note: Sharesight will not let you save a trade that would result in a negative quantity position. For this reason, it is best to record additional trades in the order that they occurred (by date).

Edit Trade fields:

Trade Date – Enter the date that the transaction occurred. You can do this by clicking in the date field and entering the date in the format displayed or by clicking the date in the calendar. If using the calendar, select the year and month before the day.

Trade type – Select the type of trade or adjustment that you like to record.

Quantity – Enter the number of units bought/sold in the transaction.

Unit/share Price – Sharesight will suggest the closing price on the transaction date. Click on this figure to use the suggested price or type your own price into the field.

Exchange Rate (only displayed for overseas shares) – Sharesight will suggest the closing exchange rate on the transaction date. Click on this figure to use the suggested rate, or type your own exchange rate into the field.

Brokerage (optional) – Enter any brokerage fee you paid or were charged, including any tax paid on the brokerage.

Comments & attachments (optional) – Click the “Open Comments & attachments” option. Use the comments field to record any additional information about the transaction. This could include the reason you bought or sold the units, or any particular circumstances about the transaction. Additionally, You may upload a file to store alongside the trade.

Note: You may only store one file (max size 10mb) per holding at a time and Sharesight will only display the latest file. iPhone/iPad users: Unfortunately, due to a limitation with the mobile iOS browser, you may only select files from your photo library. So you may choose to take a photo of your file and upload it, or upload the actual file from a computer.

Save Trade – This will save the transaction and return you to the Individual Holding Page.

Save & Add Another - This will save changes made to the existing trade & present with a new trades form to enter another trade.

5 – To Delete a trade click ‘Delete Trade’

Note: A deleted trade or adjustment cannot be restored.

Note: When you save an automatic generated dividends or adjustments, the lightning bolt icon will be removed and the trade will be saved against the holding. This means that it will no longer automatically adjust itself if you alter historic purchase or sale information.
