Chart Trader PnL display

[dtl-saw]

The ChartTrader "show realized pnl when flat" is currently displaying the "gross realized pnl" instead of the "net realized pnl" or "total pnl" which is showing up correctly in the Accounts tab.
I'm currently on the 8.1.1.3 release and I know before the 8. releases that the charttrader would show the "realized pnl" rather than the "gross realized pnl" as it does now. The gross realized pnl is mostly useless when you are paying commissions which I think everyone is doing.
Can you change it back to the way it was before the 8. releases?

Hello dtl-saw,

Thanks for your post.

I have tested the Chart Trader 'Show Realized PnL when flat' property on both the current version of NinjaTrader (8.1.1.3) and the previous version of NinjaTrader (8.0.27.1). My findings are that the Show Realized PnL when flat' option will display the Gross Realized PnL column without commissions in both versions of the platform. See the attached screenshots.

That said, I have submitted a feature request to the Development team regarding changing the setting to show the 'Realized PnL' instead of the 'Gross Realized PnL' in Chart Trader. This request is being tracked under the number SFT-5851.

As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.

What is shown in one of the 7. releases, which are before the 8. releases?

Hello dtl-saw,

Thanks for your note.

When you mention "7. releases" are you referring to NinjaTrader 7? Or, are you referring to NinjaTrader 8.0.27.1?

The first screenshot I shared shows NinjaTrader 8 version 8.0.27.1 which was the version prior to the NinjaTrader 8.1 release.

The second screenshot I shared shows NinjaTrader 8 version 8.1.1.3 which is the most recent version of NinjaTrader 8.
