The significant difference between Trade Profit and Total Profit could be attributed to various factors such as additional trades, open positions, or unrealized gains from other sources within the account. It's essential to consider factors like commissions, swaps, and fees, which can affect the total profit

Probably they have other positions open? Maybe this also accounts for leverage

This is why you need to understand trading costs. It differs with each broker.

Spreads are roughly the same but commission can be different and also swaps make big impact on trading if you trade long-term

The large difference suggests cumulative profits from multiple trades, not just one. Total Profit likely includes all closed positions, while Trade Profit shows only the latest. Always verify broker statements and track trades carefully—such gaps can indicate compounding or potential display errors.
