Dear support,

How do I turn off the daily P/L in the trade window without turning off the current P/L of the trade?

When I use "Do not display" at the Positions Profit/Loss section I also turn off the current P/L. I don't want to do that.

Please advice.

Kind regards, Zonescalper

Does anyone know if this has been answered or resolved ?

I find it distracting to the current trade to know how many ticks up or down I am for the whole day.
Being able to turn this off completely would be a great help

Further to my last comment,
I think there is some form of bug in the Display Daily P/L in the Trade DOM if it is switched off in the Chart Trade Options.
When it's switched off and you take a test trade and it loses one tick (eg buy and sell at market immediately) then that -1t is immediately displayed in the Daily P/L in the Trade DOM despite it being switched off. I would think it should stay at zero if it switched off !

However, for every subsequent trade you take the Daily P/L stays at -1 regardless of whether you won or lost any ticks

It seems very strange

Refer to the documentation here:

It does not work this way. There is never a chance it ever would work this way:
I would think it should stay at zero if it switched off !
