Here is the thread you mention. The important text is this: "Your Account Log shows that you've made several changes in the account as far as settings & portfolios being enabled/disabled. So your simulated trades & trade record will never match, which is very normal. If you absolutely want them to be equal you have to reset your account & never make any changes to that account going forward." I do not see that a reset account was performed using your broker's balance as the starting balance. That reset is absolutely necessary if you have any chance in matching simulated trades. Just making sure you don't make changes in the account is not enough. You have to reset AND not make changes. This is something that we need to fix & it is on the list of things to change. Again, what ideally should happen is that you create your account, set it up, then connect your TP. During that first TP connection it should ask you if you want to reset the account or not. If yes, then it resets it for you using your broker's balance as the starting balance. This is not implemented yet, so we have to manually reset it for now. If you don't mind your Historical Positions on your Trades page being different from the trades taken at your broker, you could reset your account now if you like. Then your Trades page will match your Simulated trades. If you decide this, just set the starting balance as the exact current balance at your broker. |
