I really like the portfolio manager but am unclear how the metrics are computed/what they really mean. Is this documented anywhere?

This post will give a breakdown of the different metrics used in Portfolio.
Starting Capital: Can't be changed once set. Important to have the correct starting capital if importing a portfolio.
Open Position@Cost: The cost to acquire all open positions
Open Position@Market: The current value of positions based on the most recent market close OR real-time prices (if real-time prices are selected).
Cash Balance: Remaining cash after open positions
Cash Change: Only applies to strategies where cash has been added, or in an automated strategy where cash has been added in order to meet capital requirements to hold all positions.
Open Position Change Today: Change in value of Open Positions relative to yesterday's Open Position value.
Total Value: Total Value of Portfolio based on end-of-day prices only (does not update when real-time prices are selected).
