Newbie question: Profit/Loss figures in ProRealtime dont make sense?

Question

This may be a stupid question, but I am starting to use ProRealtime and BackTesting my trading strategies.

In the 'Detailed View', when I review all of the trades the system has made automatically, some dont seem to make sense.  For instance one trade opened a long position on 18 Jan (10,000 stocks at £2.2435 = £22,435.00).  on 25 Jan it closed this positon (sold 10,000 at £2.2585 = £22585.00).  In terms of profit/loss for this trade it tells me that I made a loss 0f £520.00!

Surely 22585 minus 22435 = a profit of £150?

 

I havent set any other parameters re broker fees etc.

 

What am I missing here?

    • With Bitcoin aiming for a new ATH, this staking might be the best option to maximum holding
    • Tbh, trading can be frustrating, I keep trying different strategy to perfect my trading skill but all seems to be in vain. Recently, I learnt we can use AI to predict the market to trade, so I decide to start asking AI to analyze when btc is overbought so I can look for short entry but this seems not to work against as most trade I enter end up hitting my SL. I know this is part of the learning process so I don’t risk too much but it hurt to lose fund especially when you are trying your best to make your first positive trade. Sometime, I just feel the market is totally against me and that further discourages me from futures trading. Recently, I got introduced to BTC staking on some platforms like BGBTC on bitget, Babylon chain, Solv protocol, Coredao etc but that doesn’t quench my hunger to understand BTC volatility since I will just stake my btc and earn apr. I want to understand how this volatility works so I can start making something from futures trading rather than just staking to earn apr. Also, I feel staking is for spot traders that intend to hold for a longer period and that doesn’t expose you to the market. I am not like most trader that prioritize profit over knowledge even when that is the final goal.
