Given / executed

Select a session

Given — decided on this close, sent to the next open

Executed — filled at this open

Outstanding — given earlier, not yet filled

Carried because the market had no session. An order is given once and carried until it fills.

The two tables are different sets of trades. An order decided on this session's close goes to market at the next open; what filled at this session's open was decided the session before. Quantities are contracts; prices are that session's open and the previous close. A session where no order was given and none filled has no entry here; it still appears on the Daily P&L page, because open positions carried through it.

Realised P&L is the share of a position's accumulated profit that the trade on that row banked, not the position's move for the session. A trade that adds to a position realises nothing; one that halves it realises half of what the position had accrued; a close realises the rest. A winner you are still holding therefore shows zero, and every dollar the book has made is either realised on some row or still sitting in an open position.
