I just changed the Chart trade window to now show currency and points instead of just points and do not see both, as you can see in the attachment. As I went into the 'Menu' I also noticed there were 6 qty buttons, and I only see 5. I tried different places to cahnge the font size, but did not come across it. Also, my preference would be able to adjust the size of the window width to be able to see 6 buttons and wider boxes to see both currency and points. The issue seems to appear once the $$ amount gets to xxx.xx I see the comma after the currency value, but that is it.

Thanks for your time to look into this and reply.

The width of the Trade Window cannot be changed and therefore you cannot see long text strings for the Profit/Loss values.

You will only see the full 6 Quantity buttons on the Compact tab of the Trade Window. However, we will increase this to 6 for the main tab.

Hello!

Still no plans to change it?

It is very hard to use with such width: https://s3.amazonaws.com/donnicky_screenshots/2020-05-07_17-42-12_4ab6a1e0-54ca-48c0-b85a-f8320305bde6.png

Hi, I am struggling with the same exact issue as well. When viewing targets, I would like to see the full text of the target. If increasing the window width isn't a possibility, can the P/L of the target be displayed somewhere in the targets tab? Or can we hover over the target to display the text in a tooltip?

The profit/loss value of a Target and Stop order can set to be displayed directly on those order lines:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Attached Order P/L Always (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> Working Orders >> Working Orders - Display)

We expect next year to reimplement the Trade Window to be customizable.

Thanks for sharing. It would be nice to see the P/L in the trade window itself before a trade is submitted. Will look forward to when the trade window can be customized.
