hi,

i'm paper trading options before going to my live acct.

i notice that when i close many option trades at a profit the equity figure is going down when

i think it should be going up.

for example, i've closed some puts that i've sold (buying back the option to close) that are above break even above the strike price, the software is showing profit on the strike price line, and the underlying stop is above the current strike price, and the dropdown box is showing profit.

i choose "market" to close the trade.

the "realized" column at the top shows green, but the tally figure for equity does not go up.

any thoughts?

thanks!

Tom S.
