I manually keep track of my invested amount via an Excel sheet.

However, if I take the IBKR displayed market value minus my manually tracked invested amount, it will not tally with their system calculated unrealised P/L. The system P/L is lesser by quite a wide margin.

I am very sure my manually tracked figures are correct.

anyone encountered the above also?

The invested amount is recorded in IBKR . It shows the number of units you have. And also the cost price .
Units x price = invested amount

what's your base currency? the unrealized profit at dashboard level is in base currency, while details are in USD if you have US stocks

it's correct, else already run road decades ago

but it does display figures inconsistently

i.e. there's daily p&l which is in usd
unrealised p&l is in your currency, but fx think is estimated and before commission

actually monies can check under trade it'll show you the calculations for each trade
