direct section 1256 contract gains and losses are not entered on form 1099-B. they get entered on form 6781. so why you got a 1099-B with trade by trade details rather than just a statement showing 1256 gain/loss is a mystery. hopefully, someone else can answer
if you received a k-1 with1256 gains and losses the net would be reported on line 11c. from there they get carried to form 6781
we can't see the k-1 or supplement so it makes it difficult to give you a complete answer
the first I have is whether the ETN produces 1256 gain/loss
