Post From: Cannot find a way to set a different Instance Client ID number in a second Sierra instance

I tried a few trades and everything worked great. I did have one question though. I attach the trade window to the chart and on one copy of Sierra the short side trading consisted of one open and closed trade and one that is still open.

On the other copy of Sierra there was one long trade which is still open. So the open short and open long are really zero positions at IB.

While watching the trade window’s P/L and DlyPL amounts I can see that on the long side the commission for that trade was deducted and shows what the actual value would be. However, on the short side both the P/L and the DlyPL shows values that do not include commission.

In the Trade Activity Log I have checked Use Commission for both copies of Sierra. I have unchecked Include Open P/L in Chart/trade DOM P/L Display for both copies of Sierra, but nowhere in that dialog box do I see a way to have them include the commission. It’s strange that one copy would include it and the other would not even though I have set them both up to be identical. Also, both copies have the commission set for the symbol in the Chart Settings, Round Turn Commission field.
