Why is there a discrepancy between the figures displayed in my Sierra Chart Trade Window and the Trade Activity Log? On Thursday, 3 September 2026, my Trade Window showed a Closed P&L of $520, but when I checked the Trade Activity Log later, it showed a Closed Gross Profit of only $208. This is quite misleading and confusing, as I would expect these figures to match. This issue started after I switched to MNQ on Thursday. Previously, I only traded MES, and the figures shown in both the Trade Window and the Trade Activity Log were always consistent. Could you please explain why these figures are different and whether this discrepancy is related to switching from MES to MNQ?
