Post From: DPL in Trade Window not matching P&L in Trade Activity Log - throwing off Global P&L Mgm

Okay, I made a little progress. I went through the "Incorrect or Inconsistent Profit/Loss Value" link a couple times. Symbol settings have always been accurate but this time I went ahead and hit the "Apply Global Symbol Settings" button. When I did it before it deleted the symbol: MESZ20-CME, from the "Trade and Current Quote Symbol" field. I thought that behavior was weird so I never saved it. This time after I hit the apply button, I went ahead and reinputted the MES symbol and hit okay. The DPL on the chart and the Trade Window almost came in line with the Trade Activity Log. But they still don't match. I'm doing a replay also so there shouldn't be any fills missing. I did one trade and closed it as a scratch. My P&L on the Trade Activity Log is 0.00. But the DPL on the charts and Trade Window reads -1.40P. When I went into Chart Settings and changed the "Profit/Loss Format" to Currency the DPL showed -70.00C. This means it is not using MES, but ES when calculating P&L. It does this even though I have ES in the Symbol field and MES in the "Trade and Current Quote Symbol" field, with "Use As Trade Only Symbol" checked.

Also, "Currency Value Per Tick" is now 12.5, instead of what it was before I hit "Apply Global Symbol Settings". I changed it back to 1.25 per tick and hit apply and the DPL remains at -70.00C. So now I'm really confused.
