Profit & Loss (P&L)

The Profit & Loss study is one of several trading studies. It has a single output representing profit and loss.

Currency is determined by contract and account:

• For a specific contract, the currency of the contract is used.

• For a specific account and all contracts, the reporting currency of the specified account is used. If it is not specified, USD is used.

• For all accounts and all contracts, USD is used.

For the current trading day, P&L is calculated for the bar time.
