Trade.ProfitPoints equals Trade.ProfitCurrency

[[email protected]]

Hi. I've noticed when doing trade analysis that a trade's ProfitPoints is the same as ProfitCurrency in RC2. I've had to implement ProfitPoints as ProfitCurrency/Quantity for now.

thanks

Hello Filipeh,

Thank you for your note.

What instrument are you applying this to? For example ES 12-16 or SPY.

I look forward to your reply.

I've last noticed it on TNA. Not sure if other instruments are affected.

Hello Filipeh,

It would be expected that ProfitPoints is the same as ProfitCurrency when using a stock. This would not be the case when looking at futures as futures, as ProfitCurrency=ProfitPoints*TickSize. Stocks tick value is 1 cent while futures are multiplied by a factor, for example $50 for the ES.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

According to documentation, this is not true. I am having to calculate unit profit by dividing ProfitCurrency by Quantity. This behaviour change has affected code that works in NT7.They should not be the same as per documentation.
