In Trade Analytics Log the Chart stats PnL does not match Trades PnL. Trades Pnl matches my manual calculation in excel from fill qty and price. The same process also matches Trades PnL when downloading fills from CME firmsoft. - I have TAL Display Settings set to "Use Today's date" - Total volume matches between both Chart Stats and Trades windows. |

I'm not able to figure out how to use your image upload service for the TAL window, so I've attached standard screenshots.

We assume you are referring to the fact that the "Trades" tab shows a total P/L of 128.00 for the MGCZ26_FUT_CME symbol and the "Chart Stats" is showing 64.00. If this is not what you are referencing, then please let us know what you are viewing that you are questioning. What is "DisplaySettings >> Profit/Loss Display Format" set to on your "Trade Activity Log"?

Yes the Trades total P/L of 128.00 vs. Chart Stats of 64.00 is what I'm referring to. TAL >> Display settings >> Profit Loss Display format (List) = "Currency Value (C)" [See Attached] This is the first day I have seen this issue. |

Same issue persists with today's trades. You probably realized but I hadn't, the PnL diff is exactly half of correct PnL. Which, to me, points to only counting 1 side of the trade volume, but still strange given that "total Fills (daily)" value is correct. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-08-20 15:27:55

Just Traded MESU26 and that PnL is correct in both Chart Stats and Trades. So...it looks like it's specific to MGC given that yesterday was only MGC trades. I also included MGC symbol settings and I'm using 2 ticks for the tick size (MES is standard 1 tick). That sure smells like it's part of the issue. See attached.

The Trade Statistics for Charts tab data comes from the order fills loaded into a chart. Here is more information: Trade Activity Log: Trade Statistics for Charts (Chart Stats) Tab Make sure you have, the correct Starting Date-Time for the trade list in the specific chart, for the particular row you are looking at: Trade Activity Log: Understanding and Setting the Start Date-Time for a Trades List And make sure the Currency Value Per Tick for that specific chart is set correctly: Chart Settings: Currency Value Per Tick (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu) It is not within the scope of our support to analyze a specific case: Trade Activity Log: Questions About the Trade Activity Log Data Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
