Profit/loss indication when selling shares

Having just opened my first ever S&S ISA with FT, I recently sold my first shares in a stock in an attempt to move my portfolio from the basic account.

On checking my activity tab, I could see the total amount that the shares were sold for and immediately thought it would be rather nice to see a number underneath, either in red, indicating the total loss or in green, indicating the total profit earned (after stamp duty and fees, if applicable).

I was wondering if this would be of help to anyone else in the community?

Yeah I think this would be a great idea. It would have to take your average price per share I’d assume and so sometimes might not display accurately how much you made if you’re not selling your entire holding. But it would definitely be a nice bit of information.
