P/L Configuration

Setting	Description
P/L Calculation	Sets the price type used for calculating your P/L per contract. Select one of the following P/L price types: LTP Waterfall — The price type is determined by the following "waterfall" logic: Last Traded Price — If the LTP, Bid, and Ask prices are available, then TT checks if the LTP is within the Bid/Ask range, meaning LTP >= Bid and LTP <= Ask. If the LTP is within this range, then LTP is used as the P/L price. Midpoint — If the LTP is not with the Bid/Ask range, TT uses the midpoint price to calculate P/L. The Bid and Ask prices must be available to calculate the midpoint. If they exist, then the midpoint (i.e., (Bid + Ask)/2) is used as the P/L price. Bid/Ask — If only one side is available, i.e., there is only a Bid or only an Ask, and there is also a settlement price, then either the Bid or Ask is used as the P/L price if it's better than the Settle: If no Ask, but Bid > Settle, then Bid is used as the P/L price; if no Bid, but Ask < Settle, then Ask is used as the P/L price. Settle — If neither the Bid or Ask are available, then the settlement price is used as the P/L price. Close — If Settle is not available, then the Close price of the current session is used to as the P/L price. Last — The Last Traded Price Bid/Ask — The Bid price for long positions or Ask price for short positions Midpoint — Midpoint of the Bid/Ask, i.e., (Bid + Ask) / 2 Open — The open price for the contract in the current trading session Close — The closing price for the contract in the current trading session Settle — The settlement price for the contract from the previous trading session
Use indicative settlement price when available	Sets whether to use indicative settlement prices (IndSettle column in the Market Grid) instead of settlement prices when calculating P&L If the indicative settlement price is not available, the calculation will use the settlement price. (Applies only when the P/L Calculation setting is Settle or LTP Waterfall)
