Post From: Trade Dom not correctly showing latest P/L

1. We think this has to do with this documented change:
The Open Profit/Loss calculation for the current Trade Position displayed on the Trade Window and the Position Line on the chart, now uses the Bid and Ask prices instead of the last trade price. The Bid price is used for Long positions and the Ask price is used for Short positions.

We may change this back to using the last trade price instead of the bid and ask. Or make this an option.

However, what this is confirming is that the bid and ask price from the trading service is not correct. You can view those through Window >> Current Quote Window.

2. For the position being reversed, this is something that the automated trading system itself is doing. So this would be something that you need to resolve. If the automated trading logic is not working as documented here let us know:
