Hi everyone

I had not had any issues like this since I started using Sierra chart, but not I am having 2 errors in my chart trade windows and I have looked through all the chart settings, trade settings, symbol settings, etc option and cannot figure it out.

1) For some reason the system is adding 1 cent for every contract I trade on ES. So for example if I am long 1 contract and I am 4 ticks in profit (1 point), instead of saying +$50, it says +$50.01. I do not know why it is adding a cent to every p/l both in open and closed positions on my chart trade windows.

2) I have my chart set up correctly in 2 sessions. One for ETH from 18:00:00-9:29:59, and then for RTH from 9:30:00-17:00:00. But for some reason Sierra does not reset my balance for the session back to 0 each day at 18:00:00. Obviously in futures each trading day begins at 6pm EST. So at 18:00:00 it should go back to 0. But I don't know why it is not resetting itself properly after each trading day. Like right now it is 10pm EST, and my chart trade window still shows my profit I made trading yesterday night.

Thanks for any help figuring these 2 issues out.
