# Trade Report Is Incorrect

When generating a Trade Report, MotiveWave assumes you are flat at the start date/time. If you had a position open at the start date/time then it will report a closing trade as an opening trade and vice versa, this will result in an incorrect trade report. In order to avoid this, make sure the start date/time are during a period where you were flat.
