Accumulative Return $ (PnL)
Definition
The total profit or loss generated from all your trades over a specified period.
Formula
Accumulative Return $ = Sum of (Profit or Loss on Each Trade)
Example
Imagine you have the following trade history for a week:
- Trade 1: Profit of $200
- Trade 2: Loss of $50
- Trade 3: Profit of $100
- Trade 4: Profit of $50
Your Accumulative Return $ would be: $200 + (-$50) + $100 +$50 = $300
Considerations:
- Wash Sales: Differences in how TraderSync and your broker handle wash sales can cause discrepancies.
- Date Settings: Understanding how your broker reports PnL dates (close, open, or transaction) is essential for accurate comparison with TraderSync.
- Historical Data: Limited historical data, particularly when transferring from another platform, can affect the results.
- Fees: Variations in how brokers report commissions, fees, and locate fees might lead to differences.
- Date Preferences: Your selection of close, open, or transaction date in TraderSync’s settings impacts the stats.
- Portfolio Adjustments: This metric purely reflects trade results and doesn’t factor in manual adjustments.
