Starting the day, I made a .75 profit on the emini S&P in sim. It appears after closing the trade, as a .75 loss This has been going on for a couple of days. I did change the intraday storage unit to 1 tick in order to use the high accuracy rolling ma study. The instructions were followed regarding changing to 1 tick. I would like to live trade today so please expedite the answer. Thanks |

Well, I it seems I have tried it all. Today using the replay, I was +$200, hit reverse, and the the $200 instantly appeared as a loss in the net p/l without corresponding chart movement. Interesting trick, hit reverse and the p/l reverses. That could be handy for fixing bad trades. At the start of the replay it asks if it should clear the sim account. I selected yes. I will try replay over the weekend. Perhaps something is being overlooked. Maybe it is necessary to delete the program and start over. |

Maybe it is necessary to delete the program and start over. Follow through the instructions here: Help With Daily Profit/Loss Value Those instructions also apply to simulated trading as well. Be sure to follow step 3 to disable the Net Profit/Loss to avoid any confusion. You must be misunderstanding something. These instructions explain how the calculations are arrived at. Going through those instructions and the other linked documentation, you should have a very clear understanding of why you see what you do.
