New P&L (ticks) columns added

Posted on by

We’ve added two new columns to those available in the Trades View:

  • P&L (ticks) – gross P&L in ticks for futures trades
  • P&L (ticks per contract) – gross P&L per contract in ticks for futures trades

Both of these new columns will always show gross P&L, regardless of the P&L setting.  If you switch to net mode, their column titles will change to emphasize they are still gross.

We’ve also added totals and averages for the Commission and “Commission and Fees” columns, at the bottom of the Trades View.

New tick reporting

Posted on by

For futures traders, we have added the ability for all of the reports to display P&L data in ticks rather than $ (or R). When you visit the reports, you will now see an additional available mode, depending on your subscription.

Silver users will see the new tick mode:

reptick2

And gold users will see the tick mode, in addition to their gross/net and R options:

reptick1

Clicking the “T” will switch all P&L values in the reports to be in ticks, rather than $.

A couple of important notes about this:

  • Only futures trades will be shown in tick mode. Other trades will not appear in the reports when in this mode.
  • While each trade may have a different tick size (e.g. ES vs CL trades), the reporting normalizes them to just “ticks”. So if you made 2 ticks in an ES trade, and 5 ticks in a CL trade, the combined P&L for the two trades will be displayed as 7 ticks.

Tick reporting is available today for all futures trades!
