To record Trading P&L Snapshots, use one of the following methods:
- Record Trading P&L Snapshots in your database. These snapshots can then be used in reports.

- Export the snapshot data as an XML file for use in external systems using the Trading P&L Snapshot Manager. Using the Trading P&L Snapshot Manager will prevent you from also using Trading P&L Snapshots, so follow the steps below only if you are planning to export XML to an external system.
