accounts tab showing unbalanced filled sells / buys

[patricia70]

Hello,

in Control Center --> Accounts tab I have enabled the columns "Filled Buys" and "Filled Sells". How is it possible that NT8 shows FilledBuys=28 and FilledSells=30 whereas I am flat and have no positions running? This is not the first time happening, I have realized that weird display already in the past.

Can you explain please what that means in detail? thank you in advance and merry christmas.

Hello patricia70,

Thank you for your post.

The 'Filled Buys' and 'Filled Sells' columns display the number of orders filled in the current session, so it would be expected that they would show a number even when flat. More information about the 'Accounts tab' may be found at the link below;

that's what I expected to. But what can cause to have different values?

Hello patricia70,

Thank you for your note.

These values reset with the session. Did you hold any positions from one session to another? For example, if I put in a buy order yesterday, held that position overnight, and closed it out today, the filled buy would be in a separate session from the filled sell and cause the numbers to differ.

I look forward to your reply.

no. As I initially said I was flat before session end.

Hello patricia70,

Thank you for your reply.

What I am asking is if you held a position over night from the previous session. I understand that you were flat in the current session, but often, people leave positions overnight which has an impact on the Account reporting and Trade Performance data that is calculated by NinjaTrader.

I am not sure any more but I just figured out by looking into ControlCenter --> TradePerformance --> Executions and I looked at the date range 18th Dec to 23rd Dec. The column "Positions" is clearly showing what the current position size was at a particular time.

At session end 18.12.2020 --> I was flat
At session end 21.12.2020 --> I was flat
At session end 22.12.2020 --> I was flat
At session end 23.12.2020 --> I was flat

as you see, I had no overnight position.
