Daily P/L worked fine until I updated to 1814 now it doesn't.
Describe what you expect from the Daily Profit/Loss calculation. What is considered the start of the trading day for you? And are there any missing order fills? You can check that in the Trade >> Trade Activity Log. And are there any trades which span a trading day?

With all due respect do not accuse us of crap, when we are dealing with crap with external services and limitations. We are trying to make things better. You need to take the time to understand how the calculation is done and use common sense. There simply is no perfect way to automatically do this without user understanding and intervention. Daily Profit/loss calculation issues are common before even the changes.

We have done our best to explain how the calculation is done and what needs to be done. So we need more time to explain this more clearly. We have put together this post here about this:
Reimplementation of Trades and Trade Statistics and Period Trade Stats Tabs/Calculations | Post: 158907


My "Trade Stats For Charts" is totally jacked and doesn't display currency anymore, like where the "Open P/L" instead of USD it's displaying "points" so something switched since last update.
This is unrelated to this thread, and this issue is resolved in version 1815 and higher.
