Default simple way to see all transactions?

I would like to see a simple report for one day or one week or ?
That shows each transaction / or order with realized profit or lost for each transaction.

for instance today I am down on my demo account $3,000 but I only have three charts open, each with a strategy. One shows profit $1000, one shows realized loss $180 and the other loss $360. I can not see which strategy is not giving me the right information. I want to see a report that shows each transaction for the day WITH the realized profit or loss for each transaction. I found in accounting totals, and transactions, but i can not see if each transaction with profitable or not.

Hello gator-trader,

Thank you for your post.

If you go to the Accounts Performance tab and then generate a report for the day that you would like to view data for you will see a total of your day's transactions.

Underneath where you choose the parameters on the type of report that you would like to run are tabs. One of those tabs reads 'Trades'. This tab provides a performance of each trade.

Please see the following link for more information.

Default tab meaning

On the trade window what is MAE, MFE, and ETD?

If I see MAE -$30, MFE $10 and ETD $40 and Total is -$30 What happened? it looks like I sold for profit $40 and cost me $10 commissions and should have left $30, instead it was -$30 a loss.

What do these things mean?

Hello gator-trader,

Please see the links below for a description of these abbreviations.

http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...verageMAE.html
http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...verageMFE.html
http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...verageETD.html

Please see the link below on how to setup commissions in NinjaTrader.
http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...sionRates.html

A minimum commission will apply commissions per side per order.

A commission level will apply commissions per side per contract.
