Knowledgebase: Why isn't my SD/Margin/Profit Target/Max Loss correct? Why does my open position SD read Infinity?

If you imported the trade from your account statement during the same day as it was opened then ONE won't have the information on the server for calculating SD (i.e. IV and underlying price) or plotting the underlying price trade marker on the price chart. In fact, it won't have this information until the following days EOD data upload from the data vendor, therefore it leaves this information blank for that position. You can edit this manually though in the TradeLog->Comment line->Right mouse click->Edit Snapshot. This is where all open position and other information is stored and can be modified.

In order to have a correctly calculated SD, the software needs an accurate IV and underlying price in the snapshot for the first (opening) trade of the position.
