Selecting
Profit and Loss
Profit and loss across all transactions, positions and
asset types is calculated under First In, First Out (FIFO) and Mark-to-Market
(MTM) methodologies by default.
FIFO
accounting is used for stocks, security options, single stock futures
and FOREX.
MTM accounting
is used for futures and futures options.
With the FIFO method, a closing transaction is matched
with the cost basis of the earliest transaction in the position to determine
realized profit or loss (the difference between your entry execution cost
and exit execution cost). MTM shows how much profit or loss was made in
current trading. The MTM calculations assume all open positions and transactions
are settled at the end of the day and new positions are opened the next
day.
