I am on simulation mode at the moment and the system has been showing me correctly the “drawdown, open P&L, Closed P&L”, for the last 2 months c Today, after I stopped for a week, as I went back to check totals on “Closed P&L, it’s showing “0”, like I haven’t done any trades for the last 2 months. How can I get the accumulated P&L from the last two months, as it was before? I want to make sure this doesn’t happen when I trade my real account, otherwise it’s nonsense. Please help |

Most likely, your "Display Settings" for the Trade Activity Log are set to not show the data going back far enough. Make sure the "From Date" is set far enough back. Refer to the following: Trade Activity Log: Date Range to Display >> From Date | From Time Also check the other items in the Display Settings to ensure that you have everything set to show you what you want to see.

Thank you but after checking everything on the link you sent, I see nothing different or wrong on the settings, I don’t get it, the system seems to have bugs, it doesn’t make sense. My biggest worry is, if this is bot sorted while I’m on Sim, what do I do when I go live?

Please get us an image of the Display Settings for your Trade Activity Log. And also let us know what is the date of an order that is not showing in the log. Also look at the file system and go to the 'TradeActivityLogs' folder under your main Sierra Chart installation folder (typically C:\SierraChart). Look to see if there are any files for the time when you were expecting to have trade information in the log. The particular log file will have the date followed by the Account Name (probably Sim1). Let us know if the file from that date for that account is non-zero size. One other possibility, is that you may have deleted some of the simulated trade activity, if you were running a replay. When you start a replay, it asks you if you want to remove the trade information for that account and symbol. If you select the option for "Clear All Trade Data for Symbol and Account", then this would have deleted that information from before that point. Keep in mind, you can not delete the live trading information in the above way with Replay. Replay requires that you are in Simulation Mode, so you are only removing simulated orders/fills.

Thank you John. I see, at least now I can relax knowing that trades won’t be deleted from live trading, that’s important. Please check the the images attached. I have meanwhile switched from sim to live. Still, I believe things are not showing properly. If someone could do remote assistance and check these setting for me, that would probably help and be more efficient. Either way, I have sent pictures of my “display settings” from “Activity log”, they are attached. I hope the file Is attached, I did upload it, although I can’t see it here… |

The Trade Activity Log settings that are in the image are showing that you are displaying the data for "Non-Simulated" trades (or live trades). Therefore, it would not show any of your simulated trading. Change the setting for "Simulation State" to "Simulated" to view your simulation trades. Also, the "From Date" is set to September 1, 2026. If you want to view trade information from before that date, then you need to set it further back in time.
