Ver.8080 Market analyzer total row not showing total P+L after a trade is closed out

[bortz]

I've got market analyzer (MA) configured for Interactive brokers. The MA total row shows P&L amounts fine while connected to my data feed and IB TWS while the trade is in progress. When you close your live trade position, the total P&L $ amount suddenly reverts back to zero, instead of retaining your $ won or lost on that trade. I recall with sim trading the P&L column would show until you disconnected and this was using TDA as the sim data feed. Is it normal to not show any totals in the MA after a trade is completed in live trading? If I recall correctly, in sim trading, the realized profit would show up in the same row as the ticker, as long as you were connected. In live trading, the realized profit reverts back to zero as well.

Hello bortz,

Thanks for your post.

Your description sounds like you are using the "Unrealized Profit loss" column instead of the "Realized profit loss" column? You do have the option to show both columns. A third option is to use the column "profit loss", this will show both realized and unrealized PnL.

None of the P/L columns show any values other than zero after the trade is over with.
