Understand open and closed positions
Open and closed positions show whether you currently hold an asset and how past transactions shaped that position.
Open positions
An open position is an asset you currently hold in an account. Bitease derives the position quantity from your saved buy and sell transactions.
Closed positions
A closed position is an asset where your transaction history no longer leaves an open quantity. Closed positions remain useful for reviewing past activity and realized history.
Reopened positions
If you fully sell an asset and later buy it again, Bitease can show the current holding as a reopened position. The current open position starts from the later buy while older history remains available for context.
Why transaction order matters
Dates, quantities, prices, and transaction types determine position history. Editing or deleting an older transaction can change open quantity, closed history, cost basis, and return values later in the timeline.
If a position looks wrong
- Review the asset transaction history in date order.
- Check whether each Buy and Sell has the correct quantity and date.
- Edit incorrect transactions instead of deleting and recreating them when the activity is real.
- Review the overview again after saving corrections.
