Hi,
would someone assist me whats going on with placing an order. for example, if i place buy order and the price goes in my favor instead of getting positive points, its completely opposite (-negative) and vice versa. And the price actually moving when i place an order. was not in a accurate price.thanks

We need to know where you are seeing the opposite profit or loss value?

What specific field of data in Sierra Chart do you see this.

placed order at 5990 but it started at 5993 so that made me negative points right away. the Daily Profit/Loss got -.63 already.

did try once again. buy market clicked at 5994 but it started negative again at 5990 but then the price went up so it should be positive at 5997 so 3pts. But when i exited to get profit my capital decreases.

You do not have any exchanges active, therefore what you are seeing in the charts is 10 minutes and 10 seconds delayed.

The exchange that you had active in May did not renew on June 1, 2025 due to insufficient funds in your account at that time. You can add funds at the following link:
https://www.sierrachart.com/UserControlPanel.php?page=AddAccountCredit#MoveToTop

And you can activate the exchange(s) you want for the CME Group at the following link:

What symbols do you need real-time data for? And do you need market depth data?
