The history tab, denoted by a clock icon, is located on the left side panel. Once in the history tab select an account and view your year-to-date (YTD) realised and unrealised gains for all symbols traded this year.
What does each P/L figure represent?
P/L Realised: This figure displays realised profit/loss. In other words, this is the resulting profit/loss from positions that have been closed. This is a relatively static figure and should only change when positions are closed.
P/L Open: This figure displays the current profit/loss of any open positions in an underlying. This is a dynamic metric and is marked to mid-price.
P/L YTD: This figure, as its name indicates, displays profit/loss for the year-to-date. Its value is arrived at by way of the following simple formula: P/L Realised + P/L Open = P/L YTD. P/L YTD is a relative number that measures your P/L from the beginning of the year. Additionally, P/L YTDis based on on the closing mark of any position held from one year to another. So, if you held position(s) into a new year then P/L YTD will be based on the closing mark of the previous year.
