Hi.

In the statistics of trade activity log, I would like to clarify the "net profit" meaning in Flat to Flat net profit. Is it "net" considering all the trades that happened from flat to flat? Or is it net as in after commissions?

I would also like to suggest a "Average FlatToFlat trade open Profit/Loss" given that I can only see the MAX and MIN values in the statistics ("MAX/MIN FlatToFlat trade open profit/loss"). This would be very helpful when backtesting strategies with multiple scale ins, because I need to see in average how big was the open risk Flat To Flat.

Thanks!

We are changing the name to:
Average FlatToFlat Trade Profit/Loss

We have put a precise explanation for what this is here:
Trade Activity Log: Trade Statistics Fields Descriptions

If you have enabled the Use Commission option and have set a commission, then it does include commissions.

It is not clear how this would be calculated:
