Partial Closes & Scaling

When you close a position in pieces, or add to it while it's open, your broker records several separate deals. TradeLog groups them into ONE trade in your journal — one position, one row — so your stats stay clean and your win rate isn't distorted by counting each piece as its own trade.

Scale-In vs Scale-Out

• Scale-in — you add to an open position (increase its size). Each addition belongs to the same trade.
• Scale-out (partial close) — you close part of the position and let the rest run. Each partial belongs to the same trade.
• The trade stays open until the last unit is closed; only then does it get a final result.

Labels You'll See

• Initial — the first entry of a position that was later scaled.
• Scaled-in — a later addition to the position.
• Scaled-out — a partial close taken before the position was fully closed.

How P/L and R Are Combined

Your trade's P/L is the sum of all its parts, net of fees and swap. R is measured against a fixed denominator, never re-based as legs close: Financial R (F) divides by your planned 1R frozen at the moment you entered, and Technical R (T) divides by the position's own entry-to-stop risk — so scaling out to lock in profit shows the true result of the whole trade, not of each piece on its own.
