GBPJPY: If I make 50 pips then how do I configure the chart to tell me that? In the attachment it says DPL:2.575P...what does that mean? I want it to tell me +50pips or whatever the case is. http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=149875514446.png

Refer to: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ProfitLossCalculationsAndSymbolSettings.php P means points and is an actual profit/loss value calculated using the prices of the symbol. Not a currency value and not in ticks. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users. Try to keep your questions brief and to the point.

Im talking about forex not futures. 1. Does the chart have the capability of showing me the pips made for the current day and not PnL (what does 2.575P equate to anyway?) 2. How do I configure the settings so that each pip is $10? I dont want to trade lots, I want to trade value per pip. Thank you

1. Yes. The documentation we linked to does explain this. But specifically refer to this Chart Setting: Chart Settings: Profit/Loss Format (List) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu) 2. Make sure the Tick Size and Currency Value Per Tick are set to what you require: Chart Settings: Tick Size (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu) Chart Settings: Currency Value Per Tick (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu) Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
