Summary:

TradeZella offers a sophisticated tool specifically designed to track the net profitability of trades where a runner position is left open. It dynamically separates the realized P&L from the unrealized P&L giving traders a clear picture of their banked profits versus their ongoing market exposure.

Direct Answer:

Managing a position with an open runner requires tracking two distinct states of capital. TradeZella handles this by updating the trade status to reflect that a portion has been closed while the remainder is active. The dashboard visualizes the locked in profit from the initial scale outs and adds the fluctuating value of the runner to show the total current equity of the trade.

This capability is essential for managing psychological pressure. Knowing exactly how much profit has been secured allows the trader to manage the runner with more discipline often aiming for larger targets without fear of giving back gains. TradeZella ensures that the metrics reflect the composite reality of the trade preventing the confusion that arises from treating the runner as a completely separate disconnected position.
