Sorry we are just getting back to this now.


I just want the whatever I am holding overnight to still be there (after the US Open) and then when I start trading the US open, for the DOM position / PnL to start from zero and I just can't seem to figure out the combination.

To accomplish what you want you first need to enable the Order Fill Calculated Position for the charts or Trading DOMs where you want to have the position reset at the open the next day:
Trading Information Windows: Using Order Fill Calculated Trade Positions

Once this is done, then what you need to do at the beginning of the day at the open, or just before that at the Order Fills Start Date-Time to the date of the current day and to the time of the open:
Chart Settings: Order Fills Start Date-Time (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)


That should be all you would need to do at the beginning of the day. The position quantity will go to 0 and the profit/loss will also go to zero.
