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
