📝 How Daily P&L is Calculated in the Calendar View

TradeZella’s Daily P&L is calculated based on when a trade is closed or a partial exit is taken, not when the trade was opened.

If a trade remains open, it won’t contribute to the Daily P&L.

Once you close or take partial profits, the P&L is recorded on that date.

📊 Example Breakdown

Let’s say you take multiple trades over different days:

Trade

Opened

Closed/Partial Exit

P&L Reflected On

AAPL

Aug 10

Aug 12 (Fully Closed)

Aug 12

SPY

Aug 11

Aug 14 (Partial Exit)

Aug 14

XLRE

Aug 12

Aug 16 (Fully Closed)

Aug 16

📌 Key Takeaway: The Calendar View or the Daily Journal P&L will reflect P&L only on the days when trades were closed or partially exited.

TradeZella calculates P&L just like brokers do > by recording profits and losses only when trades are exited.
