Is there anyway to remove the daily P&L on Interactive Brokers?

I am trying to not constantly have my eyes on the P&L on the mosaic screen.

I am trying to think strictly in points/ticks instead of money. I have so far gone to the point of changing the colors on my candles to remove "emotion" out of my charts.

But the green/red that is visible on Interactive Brokers platform is really annoying.
Thanks in advance

 

Did you ask IB?

 

Just overlap the windows in mosaic so you don't see it unless you bring it up top.

I have a small window at the upper left corner of the leftmost monitor with the Portfolio details including the daily P&L of course.

Immediately below that on mosaic I have a much larger watchlist window, with all the tabs and my tracking hotlist as one of them. By clicking on this window, it overlaps and hides the Portfolio Window with the P&L, except for the upper border of the Portfolio window, so I can click that and bring it up top if I want to see the P&L and Portfolio status.

Yes, especially in volatile markets it is irritating and quite useless seeing those fluctuations, which have nothing to do with the process of trading anyway.

 

you don't need to "overlap" anything. If you do not want to see any p&l related metrics then simply do not show the columns that relate to p&l. Such would be "Unrealized P&L", "Realized P&L" and "Daily P&L". Obviously if you are not interested in seeing p&l then you should NOT display the "Portfolio" tab but rather set up a new watchlist tab. I repeat saying that most issues people have with TWS is because they do not understand how it works.

 

There is a Portfolio Module which by default has the Overall Daily P&L, Unrealised, Realised, Net Liq Value, Maintenance Margin, etc. Those cannot be deselected if you have the module visible, they are not columns but items listed across the top of the module..

You can deselect the columns as they relate to individual portfolio items.

I am referring to overlapping to hide those default items at the top.

 

Exactly what I said, if you do not want to see p&l figures then leave the Portfolio page alone and set up an additional watchlist which does not contain the p&l columns.

Here is one of my watch lists:

 

Ah yes, you could of course ignore the Portfolio module completely, as you have done. I have it on so I can keep an eye on it from time to time, but not see it constantly.

Nice looking watchlist BTW. I leave mine with the default colours as I'm colour blind and anything I try typically turns out looking quite ghastly.

 

Yeah i used to just overlap windows, then i put a piece of tape across one of my monitors, but its not an issue anymore, i dont trade my pnl, its hard not to at first, takes years to get around it but once your there trading becomes very simple.

 

better to stay in P&R, don't you think so? A tape across one of your monitors? This is outright hilarious. I hope it was meant as a joke.

 

Thanks to EVERYONE here for their help! I did call IB at first and they said it wasn't possible to remove it so I decided to ask here just in case anyone knew how to get around it.

I guess I can go with the 2 options that were recommended, either A. overlap the column or
B. Just have a different column such as a watchlist thus being able to not have my eyes focused on the P&L

Thanks again, much appreciated
