Post From: sc.TradeServiceAccountBalance produces a different number under Teton than TT

I apologize for probably mixing threads. The first post referenced a discrepancy between the Trade Account Monitor Daily Profit/Loss and the value displayed in the Daily PnL window of the Attached Trade Window. I saw in the documentation this may be expected? Even with Teton?

In my balance monitor study I use the DailyStats.ClosedTradesProfitLoss statement. This apparently grabs something other than the Daily Profit/Loss which is being displayed in the Trade Account Monitor Daily Profit/Loss field correct? The Trade Account Monitor Daily Profit/Loss field reflects the $2.50 per lot temporary debit Stage5 puts on an account intraday. The DailyStats.ClosedTradesProfitLoss statement does not.

I also use the sc.TradeServiceAccountBalance statement and that statement correctly reflects the Cash Balance field of the Trade Account Monitor. So that is the first issue.

The second issue involves my inability to flatten a trade when needed. When I called Stage5 Sergio said he saw my account as flat and could not flatten the trade. Am I responsible for the additional loss on the trade when the software did not function properly? SC is a great package and I have never had a problem until switching to Teton. I realize there can be bugs to smooth out with new software eveen if you are very good at what you do which I think you are. I did software design, development, and implementaion for 18 years before trading so I know things can happen even with the most thorough test plan.

Thanks!

Mike
