Keith: Should open another post to get others input on this, but, here's my '3x5'.

First, I'm a little lost at your question, but as a cursory review of your 17th to 18th Unrealized (End of Day on 17th?) to Realized (position Closed at Open on 18th?) values, MON did drop overnight (~$.30USD per share). QVAC dropped too (~.$10USD).

Second, I don't know how Mark's FTM can affect when your trades occur. That should be your settings (i.e. submit before market open/after (e.g. 9:35EST?).

Personally, when I review my reported Closed values, as shown in my emails, I understand commissions charges are part of the final value I see. So, a minimum potential reduction of ~$1 is safe to assume in the 'Realized' value in 'Realized' profit. As Mark showed above, commissions are important in final performance. Finally, compare email trades results with your IB statement for more detail.

BTW, I believe leveraged trades show some funny 'Realized' results too. Another Forum thread would be best place to draw out some other's input on these issues.
