I guess this is software fault rather than settings but please let me know:

Live trading a single CQG account using two Sierra instances (DTS).
The trade activity log would record the the TradeWindowConfiguration name in the "note"column.
This name would be preceeded by "Tag:" for trades that were executed on the second instance of Sierra.
I think this would cause the Running balance to not add up correctly.

See my screenshot attached, the $45 loss which was executed in the second instance with the note "Tag:...." is not included in the running balance.
I have noticed this fault weeks ago but just realised what the cause may be ("Tag:" ?!?)
Cheers

No, that is not the problem. In newer versions the Running Profit/Loss is tracked individually for a particular Symbol and Trade Account.

Refer to:
Trade Activity Log: Trades Fields Descriptions

You can get the value you need on the Trade Statistics tab.

Thank you for pointing this out.
May I say that things like this take some shine off an otherwise fantastic piece of software that you guys created.

A running balance to a trader is like a speedometer to a driver and I cannot understand why you would choose not to have this.
I understand that running balance can be seen from the summary tab but we really need this displayed on the list of trades.
Hope this will be remedied sometime soon.
Kind regards
Andrej
