Hello ericson,

Thank you for your post.

Are you seeing that the lines are tying the incorrect entry to the incorrect exits?

Can you provide a screenshot of the Performance that shows the correct Profit and Loss?

[ericson]

Here is the chart for performance.

Here is the chart for performance.

And this is correct to your records?
Is this the Realtime Performance or the Historical Performance?

[ericson]

Yes i think so. It is real time sim.

Hello ericson,

Thank you for your response.

The chart would show historical performance up to the point you started the strategy, from that point forward it would be realtime. The difference here is that historical performance is calculated like a backtest over the historical data. In doing so it calculates conditions and order executions off of the close of the bar. This can be skewed when compared to actual results in realtime performance.

For information on the difference between historical and realtime results please visit the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...ime_vs_bac.htm

Please let me know if you have any questions.

The chart is real time with no historical. Why are pl lines being drawn incorrectly. My strategy realized is wrong but account performance data is correct.

Hello ericson,

Thank you for your response.

Any data prior to opening the chart would be historical. So if you open your chart at 8 AM, everything before 8 AM is historical data. Can you clarify further?

[ericson]

please look at the first attachment. lines are everywhere and not supposed be like that. the second attachment is correct. it messes up my realized pl and strategy pl calculations, but in account performance data seems correct. non of it is historical trades.

Hello ericson,

Thank you for your response.

Please right click in your chart > select Strategy Performance > your Strategy > Historical.
Then right click again select Strategy Performance > your Strategy > Realtime.

Please advise specifically which is correct and which is wrong. I suspect the Historical is going to be incorrect to what you want.

[ericson]

These are real time trades only

I am more looking to see what performance values are not correct here. Please follow the instructions below and advise the needed information.

Please right click in your chart > select Strategy Performance > your Strategy > Historical.
Then right click again select Strategy Performance > your Strategy > Realtime.

Please advise specifically which is correct and which is wrong. I suspect the Historical is going to be incorrect to what you want.
