After 15 years, I finally get it right...

Quote from atticus:

Uhh, it's 100% not an interactive brokers' generated statement of PNL. FWIW, I've never seen any broker statement using the term "Pnl". lol to this thread. Good show.

TWS Trader Dashboard does use the term "Pnl" in the default account data attributes:

"Realized Pnl in base currency"

"Unrealized Pnl in base currency"

Not making a statement on whether or not this means OP is legit, I could care less, but IB does use the term Pnl in TWS is all (at least in an unofficial capacity).
 
Quote from Free Thinker:

et is just amazing. i think it used to stand for ELITE TRADER/

Ahh, wtf cares, but I was surprised how many bought it. Eternal optimism in a sea of despair.

More surprised that nobody questioned how he pulled $2MM out of index options and futures on a 60-point ATR. No friggin way he had less than $5MM (had it been legit) to start the day.

Yep, he called the moves up, the moves down, traded them,:D then "gave up" hedges at the bottom. Gotta love ET.:D :D :D

Why does someone come on an annonymous board and post fake trades/"PnL?" I don't get it.:confused:

lol disregard. I've never used Trader Dashboard but just set it up. Sure enough it does use "Pnl" on TWS, paper trader and demo.

People must be bored to hell, trying to gain bits of excitement by faking trades.

I don't get why someone does that.:confused:

Oh well, I get to add him to my long ignore list.
 
I had not closed any positions today, but wanted to see the color on the realized Pnl number so I scalped a one lot YM from 96 to 97 so that I could see the output. Looks nothing like the OPs... IB seems to be fond of green/+ red/-:

Anyway, there is no way to produce that gain on a 60 ATR in INDEX w/o starting with millions. I ran money for a guy who made $10MM in a day (on $100MM), so even on the odd chance you can change the colors of the Pnl it's immaterial lacking context.

The font (blue) in DH's isn't even close.
