Understanding the performance report
Performance Report
To generate a performance report:
1.Select the From date 2.Select the To date 3.Press the button
Performance data is generated and displayed in the various Performance Displays.
The button only needs to be pressed when adjusting the From and To dates or if since generating the report new trades have been placed within the From and To dates.
Note:
It is possible to have before the From date being listed in your report. NinjaTrader generates reports from the last time you were flat. If a particular instrument was already in the middle of a position at the beginning of the From date, NinjaTrader will report all trades prior to this date up to the point where the position was flat. This will ensure you have a complete picture in terms of your performance on any specific date instead of "jumping" into the middle of a position which may cause inaccurate overall performance.

Note: As Forex trade quantities are typically in multiples of 1,000, 10K, and 100K a NinjaTrader feature is to divide (normalize) your Forex trades by your account lot size. Account lot size is recorded per execution and is set by the connection. A micro Forex account is 1,000, a mini Forex account is 10K, a standard Forex account is 100K (FX lot size is set automatically if your broker supports it and if not set manually via the property "FX Lot Size" in the connection setup)
Example: Account is a mini Forex account (10K). A trade is made with quantify of 10k and gain a 1 pip. Instead of recording that profit as 10,000 pips it is recorded as 1 pip of profit.

Adjustments to the filters will automatically update within the Trade Performance window. The button does not need to be selected.
If the From and To dates are adjusted and then is pressed unchecked filter items will become rechecked since the button created a new scan to see what item are applicable for the time window.
