Hi ,
Please excuse my ignorance but what is the difference between " P/L' and " unrealized" ??? I started running this algo with my IB ( paper trading) account in March, shouldn't the number be the same ?

@Lionel, In most systems one has realized and unrealized P&L. Realized = booked trades. Unrealized = open position. Total P&L would be those two combined. It appears that in the Q's real time Dashboard P&L = Total P&L. Unrealized would be the potential P&L in your open position. It's not real P&L until you close the trade.
