The easiest way to get your history is to reset your portfolio and re-import your transaction history from scratch: 1. Top Right Menu \>\> Profile \>\> “Reset my Account” 2. Top Left Menu \>\> “Refresh Linked Accounts” Note that it can take up to ~1 minute to update your portfolio given the large number of transactions (optimizations are in the pipeline to speed things up). > [@covariancematrix](#): > > I’ve had difficulty validating and analyzing my trading results with Alpaca. Sometimes Alpaca’s equity report and portfolio history endpoint are not updated for 2-3 days at a time (this seems to coincide with high market volatility) and I cannot fully analyze what is driving the returns during those periods. We’ve developed a PL Attribution report to help users slice and dice their PL: - `position_pl = position_as_of_start_date x market_change` - `new_trades_pl = PL of trades in period startDate:endDate` and, because you only have activities of type “FILL” for this period: - `PL = mtm_end_date - mtm_start_date = position_pl + new_trades_pl` Also note that: - note that the current version of this spreadsheet assumes all activities are of type “FILL” (which are the only activities you have in your portfolio). - both sources of PL (i.e. Position PL & New Trades PL) are broken down by symbol so that you can pin point where your profit or losses are coming from. - PL in cell F7 should reconcile with PL in cell F12 (if you’re analyzing PL over a period of several days, these may not reconcile e.g. if there are too many transactions for the number of rows in our spreadsheet) - also note that you will be the first beta user of this spreadsheet, so bear with us if any kinks need to be ironed out.
