Why is the snap profit in Profit Manager different from my floating P/L?

0

When this occurs the market has usually trended against your open positions and is now starting to move in your favor. The snap shot/profit feature in Profit Manager is calculated from your Equity. However, your floating P/L is calculated from your balance. In this situation some of your open orders will hit their take profit (TP) point and add that profit to your balance, thus creating a gap between snap profit and the P/L by the amount of the newly closed profitable trade(s). Profit Manager will close all trades when your Equity (the real amount of $$$ you actually can walk away with at any given point in time) hits the Global TP(Ca$h 2 Grab) you set . This gap can be several hundreds of dollars and the dollar amount of these profitable trades can be more than your Global TP, when that happens you may still have a negative floating P/L when Profit Manager closes all your open trades. However, your Equity will still be more profitable that when you started.
