Good morning,
I need an information about the trade P/L and the daily P/L in the chart trade window.
I've set it on "Points - Ignore quantity" but I find the information gave me a little bit tricky.
This mornig I took a trade and made +32 pips; then it should be mean that the daily P/L should display 32, right?
Instead I've got the information that you find on the screenshot, such as 0.11894.
What does this means? Which is the right set up I have to use in order to display what I would like to see? (such as +32 for this example)

Thanks in advance and kind regards.
Fabio.

Actually what you want is not Points, but Ticks instead.

And also it is not be possible to ignore the quantity for the Daily Profit/Loss.

Refer to:

Also refer to this page about the Daily Profit/Loss:

If I used ticks instead of 32 I've got 320 (ticks - ignore quantity), but actually it is the same thing so no problem for that.
What about that number shown me instead?
What those mean? because they are not referring to value, ticks, pips or whatever.

If you are seeing 320, the calculation is correct based on the Tick Size for the chart. For additional information, refer to:

What about that number shown me instead?
What those mean?
Specifically what are you referring to?

Hello,

sorry for the delay in my reply.

There is some way (maybe in the future release) to have the daily PnL that shown just "point - ignore quantity" as per open position PnL?
Because for me, that trading Fx market, the number into the Daily PnL creates just confusion and are no sense at all...

Thanks for your time and have a nice day.
Fabio.
