Jobs
Each job in the order it ran. A job that was due shows as missing once its engine's runs from a later day are in without it.

Cost model
Alpaca paper fills, with no commission; shares one sub-book buys and another sells at the same close meet inside the account at the official close, and every leg on the larger side gets one average of that price and Alpaca's fill. A sub-book's value has no dividends and no interest, as Alpaca's paper account pays neither; its total adds the dividends and the T-bill interest on positive cash that a real account would have received. Each settle checks that the sub-books' positions add up to the account's, share for share. Their values do not add up to the equity shown: part of the account is held outside the sub-books, as a buffer, and the equity is Alpaca's own figure, read when the session was settled, at Alpaca's prices then and after Alpaca's SEC and CAT fees, charged by the day.

Cost model
Alpaca paper fills as filled. A book's value is before commission and before Alpaca's SEC and CAT fees, charged by the day; its total takes off an estimated $0.007 a share a side, the rate at the owner's own broker; the rule value is the rule's own replay on SIP bars, after the research's own costs: $0.0035 a share a side in commission for the noise area and $0.007 for the other rules, and a cent a share of slippage on every fill except a resting limit order's and the noise area's exit at the close. The account's equity, cash, buying power and market values, where shown, are Alpaca's own figures, read after the close at Alpaca's prices then and after Alpaca's SEC and CAT fees, charged by the day. Part of the account is held outside its books, as a buffer and, on INTRA1, a reserved book, so the books' values do not add up to the equity.

Cost model
Alpaca paper fills, with no commission. In the DAILY account, shares one sub-book buys and another sells at the same close meet inside the account at the official close, and every leg on the larger side gets one average of that price and Alpaca's fill. Alpaca's SEC and CAT fees, charged by the day, are left out. Commission is estimated at $0.007 a share a side, the rate at the owner's own broker: the net P&L is the P&L less it, without dividends; the P&L, the total with dividends, the return and the P&L in basis points of the sub-book are before it. An open trade is marked at the latest official close, before commission, with the dividends paid so far beside it.
