Trade count, contract count, and execution count

What this article helps you do

Interpret Calendar and Trade Log counts correctly.

Follow these steps

1. 1

   Treat one flat-to-position-to-flat lifecycle as one logical trade.

2. 2

   Count entry-side quantity as contracts.

3. 3

   Count each provider fill as an execution.

4. 4

   Keep scale-ins and partial exits inside the same logical trade until the position returns to flat.

5. 5

   Split a reversal into the closed position and the new opposite position.

What you should see

Common mistakes
