Pairing modes

NinjaTrader records fills, not trades. TradeScope pairs your entries and exits into trades the same way NinjaTrader does. There are two ways to do that, and they only differ when a position stays open across days.

Wide

Wide pairs every fill in the date range you’re looking at as one set.

• A trade keeps its real entry and exit prices, even if you held it overnight.
• Its P&L counts toward the day it closed.
• Days with a carried-over position show a small dot on the Calendar.

Use Wide for an accurate picture of what each trade actually made.

NT day-by-day

NT day-by-day pairs each day on its own, which matches NinjaTrader’s Trade Performance report when you filter it one day at a time.

• A position held overnight is treated as if it opened at the start of the next day.
• Trade counts and P&L can differ from Wide on carry-over days.

Use it when you want your numbers to match NinjaTrader’s report exactly.

Switching modes

The filter bar on the Dashboard and Trade Log has a Mode setting with Wide and NT day-by-day. On the Calendar, the switch is in the Month view header.

• It’s disabled for Today, because both modes give the same result for a single day.
• It’s disabled for All Time, because NT day-by-day needs a fixed date range. Pick This Week, This Month, This Quarter, YTD or Custom.

To choose the mode TradeScope starts in, go to Settings → General → Default pairing mode. Changing it also switches the current mode.

Why numbers can differ from NinjaTrader

If your totals don’t match NinjaTrader, check these first:

• The date range. Pairing only uses fills inside the range you’re viewing, just like NinjaTrader. The same month can show different numbers depending on the range around it.
• The mode. Compare NT day-by-day with NinjaTrader’s day-by-day report.
• Commissions. If you’ve set your own commission rates, net P&L uses them.
• The trading day boundary. With CME Globex on, days split at 6:00 PM ET, while NinjaTrader’s Trade Performance uses calendar days.
• Hidden accounts, reset dates and excluded days. All three remove trades from your statistics. See Accounts.
• Prop-firm duplicate fills. Some prop-firm connections report each fill twice. NinjaTrader counts both, which can double P&L. TradeScope counts each fill once.
