If you've noticed that your daily P&L (profit and loss) looks different between your Moomoo app calendar and your TradeZella calendar, don't worry—this is completely normal. Both platforms calculate daily P&L using different methods, but your overall trading performance and stats remain accurate.
How TradeZella Calculates Daily P&L
TradeZella shows realized P&L for each day.
This means TradeZella only counts profit or loss on the day you actually close a position (or part of it).
Example:
Let's say you're trading a stock position:
Today: You open a position and later close half of it, realizing $200 profit
Tomorrow: You close the remaining half, realizing another $200 profit
What you'll see in TradeZella:
Today: +$200
Tomorrow: +$200
TradeZella attributes the profit to the specific day you locked it in by closing the trade.
How Moomoo Calculates Daily P&L
Moomoo uses a Net Asset Value (NAV) approach that tracks your total account value changes.
Moomoo's Formula:
Return on Day X = NAV on Day X − NAV on Day (X-1) − Net Inflows on Day X
Where:
NAV = Net Asset Value (your total account value)
Net Inflows = Money you deposited or withdrew
Cutoff time: 8:00 PM US Eastern Time
What Moomoo includes in Daily P&L:
✅ Unrealized P&L from price changes (open positions gaining/losing value)
✅ Realized P&L from closed trades
✅ Other credits like dividends or interest
If you check Monday's P&L in Moomoo, it shows the change from Sunday's closing account value to Monday's closing value (including both realized and unrealized profits), adjusted for any deposits or withdrawals you made before 8:00 PM ET.
Why the Calendars Look Different (But Both Are Correct)
The key difference is what each platform is measuring:
Platform | What It Measures |
TradeZella | When you locked in profits/losses by closing trades |
Moomoo | How your total account value changed each day (including both realized and unrealized profits) |
Real-World Example:
You open a stock position on Monday. By end of day, the stock is up and your position has $500 in unrealized gains.
Moomoo Calendar (Monday): Shows +$500 (your account value increased)
TradeZella Calendar (Monday): Shows $0 (you haven't closed the trade yet)
On Tuesday, you close the position and lock in the $500 profit.
Moomoo Calendar (Tuesday): Might show $0 or small change (you already counted the unrealized gain yesterday)
TradeZella Calendar (Tuesday): Shows +$500 (this is when you realized the profit)
The Bottom Line: Your Stats Are Accurate
✅ Your overall P&L is correct in both platforms
✅ Your total performance stats match
✅ This is NOT a bug or sync issue
The daily breakdown looks different because of calculation methods, but when you zoom out to monthly or yearly totals, both platforms show the same accurate results.
Special Case: Trading Options
If you trade options and notice larger discrepancies, it could be because option-expired trades are showing as open positions in TradeZella when they should be closed.
Solution: Enable auto-close for your option trades to ensure they're properly reflected in your calendar.
