Post From: Trade Activity log FLAT TO FLAT option

Why did you take away this function? My trading is affected by not having the option to see what my flat to flat profit or loss is for my trade. And your column solution is horrible. I can not just look at and find my flat to flat unless it is my very last trade. I need to figure out which line to look at and I don't have time to do that. If you could just explain the need to take this away, I could understand.
Update to the very latest release which is now 1825 and also refer to:
Reimplementation of Trades and Trade Statistics and Period Trade Stats Tabs/Calculations | Post: 160866

We think we have implemented a good solution now as explained in that post. And we also corrected a problem with the running profit/loss calculation for a flat to flat trade which was not properly implemented initially. But thinking about it, until a trade is complete, we can see that the final indicator is not going to show but we will implement a solution to that.

Thinking about this some more, in the very latest release, every time during a flat to flat trade there is a new order fill, it gets updated with the Flat to Flat profit/loss at that moment in time. So if you just look at the bottom row and you could also now sort in descending order, and look at the top row, you can see where your profit/loss is at assuming you are looking at just one symbol.



ALSO: Why is the TRADE STATS for CHARTS still listing multiple lines of the same information? This is also VERY annoying.
This has been solved in recent versions but previously this was the case because there was one user, who kept persisting again and again about a particular issue where they were not able to see the stats from one particular chart, so we listed them all but we implemented a better solution. If you run a current version of Sierra Chart you will not see all of them listed.
