Trade Analyzer Reporting Question

[Newtrader101]

Hello,
I just begain live trading this past week and am going over my results. I have a question about the data that was reported in NT8.
As you can see in my screenshot, my first trade resulted in a loss of one tick.
my question is why is my profit -3 ticks?

Hello,

Thank you for your note.

What is the display type checked in the Display drop-down? Is Ticks checked?

You may confirm your true profit/loss with your broker.

Please send me your database, log, and trace files so that I may look into what occurred.

The extra 'ticks' of profit/loss are coming from commissions. If you look at your screenshot, you can see that your commissions for the first trade are recorded $1.64. The second trade displays $3.28. NinjaTrader reporting rounds these to the nearest tick value and includes then as part of your profit calculation.
