How Does NT Define a Trade for Reporting

[juice]

I scale in and out of trades. Lets say I buy 1 contract, then but another, then sell one, then buy another, then sell two... now I would be flat but I only consider that one trade. It seems that NT does not during Performance Reporting.

Is there a way to define a trade for performance reporting as "Trade starts when first entry for that instrument and ends when flat"?

Please let me know if this question is not clear. Thanks

Trade pairs are defined as executions paired together. If you were filled 5 long on one execution and then had 5 partial exit executions for one contract each you would have five trade pairs.

Is there a way to change that setting? To define a trade as I suggested?

If you trade using ATM strategies, then when generating a report check the "Group by ATM Strategies" otherwise, there is no option.
