Regretfully I never did options with QT.

Somehow I think the problem is with the amounts of "Value Qty Paid". Maybe "Paid" is the total amount paid ($3.20 x 10) and not unitary price. Another possibility is that it might be discounting a high value for commissions.

The right place to ask this question is at:

Sorry I cannot be of more help.

BULLarkey,

from the looks of it, you have the Quantity entered as 10, Paid as 3.20 and commission (not shown on the picture) as 60 got +BDHEB. QT does not handle the x100 factor for options, so it calculates that you paid $32 + 60 (92) for the options and values them right now at 3.50 x 10 (35) thus the big loss..

If you want QT to correctly value the options, enter 100 times the actual # of contracts you bought into the # of shares field on the Portfolio Edit screen. If you change the quantity to 1000, it should calculate correctly
