This has to do with NT7B20. I've known for a while of the "quirks" of the account performance tab. Positive numbers that show up as red, negative numbers, phantom positions that re-appear after you synchronize your database, etc.
Here's an example screen shot of one instrument (6S) from today and yesterday. Attached you'll find the account performance screen, and the chart where trades have been recorded.
Clearly there's a disparity.
This system closes itself everyday at COB (4:15 CST). I personally ensure this. The program is then restarted.
As you can see from the performance manager, we've got trades that lasted from 8/13 to 8/17, 8/18 (never happened).
There are other trades that are either missing, mislabeled, or attached incorrectly.
I can personally keep track of my information...so I know, for example, that 6S today had a couple good trades and did not "lose money" as the performance tab indicated...but this sort of programmatic behavior really makes testing difficult.
PS to show I'm not crazy, I changed the history dates from 8/11-8/19 to 8/18-8/19...everything looks fine there! Can you see how this sort of thing frustrates testing?
