I have 2 trades in my log and the commission per 3 contract trade (ie. line) is $2.22/RT. Using "Points - Ignore Quantity".

I understand the correct value should be -1.87 + 2.63 = 0.76

How do you calculate the Total Profit/Loss of 0.38 ?

Provide a screenshot showing that same window using "Points".

But basically the total that you see is calculated using "Points" and then divided by 6.

When using "Points" the total value is logical

-5.61 + 7.89 = 2.28

But when ignoring the quantity the total value is not a sum of the printed lines in the log as I would except. I just see it a bit not logical :D

Thank you for the clarification I understand the value now.
