First-in, First-out Policy This policy will create FIFO Lots. FIFO Lots have the following properties: – The lot is started with the earliest posted split that isn't a part of another lot already. – Splits are added to the lot in date order, with earliest splits added first. – All splits in the lot share the same transaction currency as the split that opened the lot.
