my fleets have made an all-time income of 546091 and warehouses have cost me (316420) so I should have a total all-time profit of 229671
in "today" ive made a total of 310440 and combined for the past two days i have lost 282400 which should show a profit of at least 28040
my current page shows im in the red by over 80k and im not sure how this number is appearing unless this only changes after each update

Have you been "plundered" or skirmished?

Yes, but if skirmised and lost the cargo you can easily go negative in your trade profit as everytime your fleet buys goods your profits drop until those goods are sold.
Also, if you have any routes setup to buy goods and store in another warehouse, the cost of buying those goods will decrease the trade profits as they goods aren't sold. The same would be for if you buy and store in warehouse. Unless you sell the goods in another warehouse, they will be a loss for the warehouse.

This is wild guess but maybe you have routes in ports where supplies are on 0 resulting in negative trade

all of this would be represented in the general trade report
apologies if it seemed like it but i wasnt asking for advice i was stating there is a miscalculation or misrepresentation of values somewhere in the function
no trade fleets of mine have taken any plunders in a week and i have made more profit today than i have lost in warehouses for all time so either the game isnt reporting the numbers correctly or there is an error in the computing of my income expenses and profits

Well, you are providing a really basic set of information. You are saying you have a negative balance, but your profits are all good. There are only so many possibilities and I doubt it is a calculation error on the game.
Can you provide a screenshot?

http://prntscr.com/l8qel6theres not much else one can say about whats happening other than the fact that my profit is greater than the expenses yet im showing in the red
as it stands i should be netting over 300k but something isnt adding up which again is a miscalculation or misreport
quite clearly the total is represented by fleets + warehouses and it is true for the numbers today yesterday and the day before yet not for all time so again i wager it is on the development side

in addition my plunder balance for player v player player v environment and total respectively this shouldnt affect anything with trade
All time: 432,562 12,542 445,104

All Time Total (Bottom Right) isn't including the Today Fleet Profit. Your amount is exactly off by the Today Fleet (Top Left).
684,331 + -358,420 = 448,680 + -122,769
Good catch on the miscalculation. Most aren't going to notice their total being off as overall profits are in the millions if not billions and the daily intake will be nothing compared to the overall.
