Attached image. On mine it doesn't show the currency difference till the trade is over. My "Open P/L" is displaying as points, where, before the recent update, it would show the profit/loss in USD.
This has already been resolved. Update to version 1815. Instructions:

Okay I will do this after trading today. If I understand correctly this means I have to update EACH chart, as there is no longer a "global" setting for this, correct.

If that is the case, then I think that is the issue I've been having all along. Meaning, today I had two charts side by side with "chart trading" on. Each had different Daily P/L for the same instrument.
Yes this does have to be set on each chart and there is no global setting. There has never been a global setting.

In the past, there is always a chance the Daily Profit/Loss calculation would not be correct for different reasons and both in the past and now, in order to ensure an accurate calculation, it is necessary to control the starting date-time of the fill matching in the chart. This is more true now than in the past but even in the past this was still necessary in some cases.


Another bug maybe? I'm in an RB trade and it doesn't even show up as a Open P/L at all. Image attached..
In regards to this, update to the latest prerelease 1816:

Make sure the order fills start Date-Time is set correctly for the chart:
Chart Settings: Order Fills Start Date-Time (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

And check the Open Average Price field on the Trade Stats for charts tab to make sure it is correct for that chart. Looks like the issue is related to that particular field.
