Maybe I missed an option to set, as I just started to use Chart Trading with Sim acct. It seems like it uses exact tick values for calculating profit loss on the screen. In a few cases, I bought at two different price levels, and my avg price which it shows correctly, is 1/2 tick size. but it calculates profit & loss assuming tick above /below my actual price.

The Profit/Loss is correct.

Because the quantity is 2 for the Position, a profit/loss of .25 is correct.
