Updated October 14, 2026. The original February 19, 2021 publication reported 6,725 US dollars in profit for a New Hope INSIDE client. This is a historical statement in the short original text, not an amount independently reconciled here. The original client-report video is retained. The question below is which costs the reported result already includes.

Read the field definition first

Profit, Net Profit and Gross Profit are not automatically interchangeable. One report may show the sum of winning trades, another the difference between gains and losses, and another a result after commissions and carrying charges. The meaning comes from the field's calculation rules, not from a familiar label.

Map what is included in execution prices, what appears as a separate debit and what sits outside the trading account. Software or VPS payments may matter to the overall economics without appearing in broker history. Show those costs separately rather than relabelling the platform's reported trading result.

A hypothetical gross-to-net reconciliation

Suppose profitable closed trades contribute 900 units and losing trades contribute minus 300. Both amounts are measured before separately charged commissions and carrying costs. Their difference is 600. Commissions for the same trades total 120, and the net carrying charge is 30. With no other adjustments, the result is 900 − 300 − 120 − 30 = 450.

If the original field already displayed 450 after costs, subtracting 150 again would be an error. This example does not reconstruct the archived 6,725 USD. It demonstrates how to choose a calculation based on the export's definitions instead of the most familiar column heading.

Do not deduct the same effect twice

When trade profit is calculated from actual entry and exit prices, those prices already affect the result. Comparing them with expected prices is useful for diagnosing slippage, but subtracting that same difference again misstates net profit. Similarly, do not automatically deduct an estimated spread on top of a result calculated from actual fills.

The trading-bot execution audit provides a fuller sequence. A cost comparison needs matching instruments, quantities, dates and currencies. Otherwise a difference may reflect the mix of trades rather than a change in execution quality.

A compact review checklist

• Is the result field named and its calculation explained?

• Do the trade period and commission-debit period match?

• Are partial fills counted without repeating the total fee?

• Are trading costs separated from external operating costs?

• Is the difference between your calculation and the report explained?

Once costs reconcile, examine profit factor and the distribution of gains and losses. A net total alone is insufficient to assess capital at risk or consistency. Historical profit does not establish future returns.

When evaluating today's software, compare the report with the current NH PRO terms. An old INSIDE result establishes neither the costs of a particular account today nor the present product package.
