In the ES, P&L display in trade window for chart was formerly calculated in .25 increments... now, though it is still in the .00 (hundreths place) format, it is not in quarters.... it seems to be in nickels... not sure why this changed. Please advise. for example... 1.30 pts instead of 1.50 or 1.25. |

If you are referring to the open position profit/loss, this is dependent on the Position Average Price.

The rounding error is in both the Open P&L as well as the Daily P&L. I was not using multiple lots, so the average fill didn't apply; however, I did check the Global Settings>Chart Trade Settings>Use Flat To Flat Average Position Line, and it remains "unchecked". Since I had recently traded another instrument (a currency) in the same account w/ 0.0005 increments, I created a new account & tried it out. The problem persists... i.e, -.75P (3 ticks) in the ES reads -.85. I do not wish to destroy/delete all accounts as these records & statistics are important for many reasons. Please advise. |

What is the Position Average Price at the time you notice this? If you are trading a single contract and is not to the tick size, we definitively cannot provide any further help beyond the documentation provided.

If you are still having a problem provide a screenshot of the Trade Window for the chart or trading DOM showing the Position data and the profit/loss values. So we can properly understand this and see if there is anything that can be done. Because we would not think there would be a problem with a single contract. Unless the external average price is being used. In which case we cannot help. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
