Return on Account

This field represents the amount of money you would make versus the amount of money required to trade the strategy, taking into consideration margin and margin calls. This value is calculated by dividing the net profit by the account size required.

  When viewing the TradeStation Strategy Performance Report, this field calculates and displays a separate value for all trades (long and short), long trades (buying long and exiting), and short trades (selling short and exiting).

When viewing the Strategy Optimization Report, you must specify whether you want to view short, long, and/or all calculations for a specific field. Short fields are prefaced with Short, Long fields are prefaced with Long, and All fields are prefaced with All.
