Hello, Top of Chart P&L Shows Zero, but on chart P&L at my Average price shows correct, whats the problem? Both on same symbol, both linked, both attached to window. But I think the chart is on a different Sym account, how do I set the chart to Sim account 1?

The upper left corner is displaying the Daily P/L, which is the closed P/L. So it will not reflect any open positions.

If you want that item to display the Open and Closed P/L then refer to the following setting:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Include Open P/L in Chart/Trade DOM P/L Display (NPL) (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> General >> Other)

Refer to the following for how to change the Trading Account that is used for a chart:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> Trade Account (Selecting Trade Account for Chart / Trade DOM)

how did I get this on the chart, where are the settings for the highlighted Account name and NPL that's on this chart?
What does 1@7597 mean ?

Refer to the following for the settings that affect the Trade Mode Box in the upper left corner:
Chart Settings: Display Trade Account Below Trade Mode Box (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

Global Trade Settings Windows: Display Daily Profit/Loss On Chart/Trade DOM (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> General >> Other)

Global Trade Settings Windows: Show Limit/Stop in Trade Mode Box (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> General >> Other)

Global Trade Settings Windows: Display Trade Account on Chart/Trade DOM (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> General >> Other)


The 1@7597 is the current selected quantity (1) and the price at which your pointer is at at that time (7597). If you are wanting to enter an order using your pointer, then this gives you the information for where that order will be placed.
