P/L active order line when trading spreads

Hi guys,

when trading futures spreads the P/L line for the current active order (on chart and DOM) shows the current P/L based on the last traded price. This is usually fine, but in not very liquid spreads, last traded price can be much further away than the current Bid/Ask, so the P/L is inaccurate. Is it possible to configure the P/L line to show it based on the actual Bid/Ask and not last price traded?

Thanks!
