As shown in the attached screen capture, the P/L is being reported differently in the "Orders and Positions" window than in the DOM for an exchange traded spread. (The DOM has the correct value in this case.) The values are reported correctly when trading either of the outright contracts that make up this spread. The chart settings for price display format, tick size and currency value per tick are set the same for the DOM and for each of the individual contract charts.

1. Update to the latest prerelease by selecting Help >> Download Prerelease.

2. You will need to add the symbol to the Global Symbol Settings and set a Currency Value per Tick in order to be able to display PL values as a currency value. Refer to:

After installing pre-release 1001 and restarting the platform, I followed the instructions in help topic 77 as directed, which seemed to have no effect on the Open P/L in the Orders and Positions screen. The attached composite screenshot shows all of the relevant settings except the main tab of chart settings (can't get both tabs simultaneously) but display format and tick size do match the global settings.

Go to the Trade DOM and select Chart >> Reload and Recalculate. See if that corrects the data on the Trade Stats for Charts tab for the Trade DOM. That will cause the internal trade list to be rebuilt using the current symbol settings.

Success! It's interesting that closing/re-opening the DOM and Trade Stats made no difference after the other changes but Reload and Recalculate made it work.

I promise not to send praise and thanks ever again. I know it distracts from your mission but, just this one time, GRACIAS!

Closing and reopening the Trade DOM definitely should have made a difference after you had entered the symbol into Global Settings >> Symbol Settings.
