Profit/Loss Question

[vjsworld]

Is this correct?

To get the open position Realtime PnL I would use:
Position.GetProfitLoss(Close[0], PerformanceUnit.Currency

To get the closed position Realtime PnL I would use:
Performance.RealtimeTrades.TradesPerformance.Curre ncy.CumProfit

the reason I ask.....

I have a exit statement that is supposed to exit all contracts when my open PnL > 2 points. Which you can see here that my print statement confirms while I am short 7 contracts, I have the 2 points.... So my system exits .75 lower than my last fill. But as you can see from the print statement, my profits disappeared, even though my exit was lower than the last print. This shouldn't be. What am I doing wrong with these PnL's?

Here is a snipit from my print:
9/8/2008 :: 9:58:0 LongCount: 119 , ShortCount: 126 MP: -7 FillPrice: 1265.25 Open PnL: $498 Closed PnL: $1297
9/8/2008 :: 9:58:0 LongCount: 126 , ShortCount: 126 MP: 0 FillPrice: 1264.75 Open PnL: $0 Closed PnL: $1180

Yes, GetProfitLoss() returns the open PnL. Take note it is the PnL of the position not of any particular order.

Yes, your realtime property will give you the closed PnL. Take note that this PnL will be calculated for ALL realtime trades. Not only the realtime trades of today. Please see this reference sample for ways to work around this: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ead.php?t=4084
