P/L
The P/L here refer to cumulative profit and loss, cumulative profit and loss are the total profit and loss of an investor in the chosen period. It includes realized trading P/L, positions open P/L, dividends received, margin interest, cash income, other fees, etc. For detailed information, please refer to the P/L component section.
The P/L numbers are calculated base on trading and banking activities within your account. All P/L displays are an estimate provided solely for informational purposes and it not represent your actual account profit and loss. These values do not constitute any investment advice.
P/L%
The calculation of P/L% here adopts a time-weighted approach.Time-weighted P/L = [(1+ Daily P/L% on Day 1)*(1+ Daily P/L% on Day 2)*...*(1+ Daily P/L% on Day N)-1]*100%.
In this formula, Daily P/L% = Daily profit / Beginning Assets of the day.
Beginning assets take multiple factors into consideration, such as deposit, withdrawals and transferred stocks. It calculates the daily profit rate, the profit at the middle point of a trading day, and the cumulative profit within this time range, thus minimizing the impact of the beginning assets. However, the formula does not consider the investment amount, and treats daily rate of return equally. Frequent large-amount deposits and withdrawals may result in a large deviation in the calculation of the return rate.
