I would like to roll back to a version that has the option to select either Flat to Flat or Fill to Fill.
I do not like how you changed this option to just a column now.
Could you please tell me the last version that had the option to select Flat to Flat trades.

Why did you take away this function? My trading is affected by not having the option to see what my flat to flat profit or loss is for my trade. And your column solution is horrible. I can not just look at and find my flat to flat unless it is my very last trade. I need to figure out which line to look at and I don't have time to do that. If you could just explain the need to take this away, I could understand.

ALSO: Why is the TRADE STATS for CHARTS still listing multiple lines of the same information? This is also VERY annoying.

Update to the very latest release which is now 1825 and also refer to:
Reimplementation of Trades and Trade Statistics and Period Trade Stats Tabs/Calculations | Post: 160866

We think we have implemented a good solution now as explained in that post. And we also corrected a problem with the running profit/loss calculation for a flat to flat trade which was not properly implemented initially. But thinking about it, until a trade is complete, we can see that the final indicator is not going to show but we will implement a solution to that.

Thinking about this some more, in the very latest release, every time during a flat to flat trade there is a new order fill, it gets updated with the Flat to Flat profit/loss at that moment in time. So if you just look at the bottom row and you could also now sort in descending order, and look at the top row, you can see where your profit/loss is at assuming you are looking at just one symbol.



ALSO: Why is the TRADE STATS for CHARTS still listing multiple lines of the same information? This is also VERY annoying.
This has been solved in recent versions but previously this was the case because there was one user, who kept persisting again and again about a particular issue where they were not able to see the stats from one particular chart, so we listed them all but we implemented a better solution. If you run a current version of Sierra Chart you will not see all of them listed.

The F in the FLAT to FLAT column helps a little. But why can't there be a way to only show the flat to flat trades? There is too much clutter now and I use the flat to flat information while I trade. This has really affected my trading. I do not understand why this was taken away.

I updated to version 1825 and my Trade stats for Charts STILL has 9 lines of the ES for all my charts I have open. This was also information I used while I was trading. I do not like that the daily profit is net and that there is not a way to see daily gross profit.

These changes are not for the better.

Could you please tell me what version still has the flat to flat option to show only flat to flat trades. I need to roll back to that previous version because I can't trade without that view.

There should only be one so long as the Symbol, Trade Account, Order FillsStart Date-Time are all the same. Can you check those and let us know. If there is a problem we can solve this. This is not a problem because there should only be one line in this case.

I do not like that the daily profit is net and that there is not a way to see daily gross profit.
On the Trade Stats for Charts tab there is a Daily Profit/Loss field. So we are puzzled by this question. Can you explain further.

The changes occurred in version 1815 and later.

We have looked into this some more and we realized that in certain scenarios there still can be a problem with this and this is now solved and will be out in 1826.
