Why the difference between Realized and Gross Realized?

[timmbbo]

Here are screen shots of my Accounts Tab, and the Strategy tab.

In the Strategy tab, you can see I gain $800 ($480 + $80 + $160 + $40 + $40). Yet, the Accounts tab, for the accounts those strategies were trading upon, it shows only a $520 gain. Why the difference? Of course, I'd rather have gained $800 than $520!

Thanks,

Hello timmbbo,

The difference between the account Gross Realized and Realized is that the Realized will have commissions and fees deducted.

The difference between the strategy realized and account realized, is the strategy realized will only have completed trades made by the strategy, for the entire lifetime of the strategy (for as many days as it has placed orders) while the account realized has all trades on all instruments and is reset to 0 everyday.

Hello. I'm with the same question but a little bit from different angle. I'm just started with your platform which is very complex and confusing tbf, but time will show how I'll be able to handle that. I'm trading in sim account, and I have gross realized $416 and then realized PNL $221, so youw ant to say that difference bettwen 416 and 221 are the fees?>?????

Hello Pawlioo,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

Are you referring to the Realized and Gross Realized of an account, or are you comparing strategy performance to the account?

Hello Pawlioo,

The Realized and Gross Realized account values are reported directly from the brokerage, so I would expect that the difference is fees and commissions.

I would recommend you contact the brokerage and confirm the fees and commissions being applied to each order.
