So, I was doing a weekly calendar call.
I sold a call $129 and bought it back $418.
I bought for the other leg a call $366 and sold it at $740.
(fees included)
Seems I earned $85 from this trade?
(because : 129-418-366+740 = 85)
But after I closed the trade, my broker is showing me a realized loss for today of $45!
That was my only trade of the day.
Can anyone explain why there is such a huge difference?
Who is right here ?
Am I making a mistake in calculating my profit / loss?
I'm on Interactive Brokers by the way.
Having trouble understanding the P&L on my broker with a Calendar Call

He needed the $50
That’s the realized loss for the day? Was it more in the money the day before?
