How is my Profit and Loss % calculated?
Tradetron calculates the Profit and loss based on 2 formulas
The numerator in both cases is the profit/loss of the strategy for the period selected ; the denominator is
- the margin calculated by Tradetron and
- the suggested capital as setup by the strategy creator.
The reason for this is a creator might require a buffer of unused margin to take the strategy properly and not considering that buffer might inflate the % returns.
On the other hand, it might be possible that the margin required turns out to be higher than the suggested capital and gives a wrong impression to the subscribers. Hence its prudent to consider the lower of these two numbers for your analysis.
