GetProfitLoss discrepancies

[2Look4me]

Hi,

I'm using the following to print the trades profits/loss, but find that what's printed is less than what appears in executions and trades in account performance.

TradePL = Position.GetProfitLoss(Close[0], PerformanceUnit.Currency);

DrawText(""+CurrentBar, Math.Round(TradePL,2).ToString(), 0, High[0] - (TickSize *10), Color.Yellow);

Why the discrepancies?
Thanks in advance

Hello 2Look4me,

Thank you for your post.

This would only print out the values from the strategy's performance and not that of the entire account.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Patrick,

That I understand. But for instance; Buy: 951.2 Sell: 949 Account Performance= (224.30) and GetProfitLoss= (232.15) or Buy: 950.7 Sell: 949.2; Account Performance = (154.30) and GetProfitLoss= (152.15)

Hello,
Do you have commissions factored in with your account performance trades?
The GetProfitLoss() method is the unrealized PnL and would not include commissions if they are set up. Unrealized PnL is not factored into realized PnL until the trade is closed. The account performance only shows the performance of trades that have been closed, not positions you are in currently.
