I understand you guys are working on bringing lifo order fill calculation but it's been delayed.
Yes.

This is something we did not consider but the reason this condition has arisen is more involved than that and is one reason why we have developed a much more reliable means of tracking trade statistics which is supported by this service:
Sierra Chart / Trading Technologies Futures Order Routing Service


Thank you for pointing it out. This is resolved in 1889. But it is important, that you understand the information here:
Help With Daily Profit/Loss Value

in regards to the daily profit/loss and having the starting date-time for order fills loaded in the chart set correctly and that there are no missing fills which make up the open position.

When the decision was made many years ago to use the Average Price calculation based upon what you would see for the currently open position as the basis for the Open PL for the Net PL, we were never really happy with that but it was always a choice as to what would be the less error-prone.

We apologize for that. This will be fixed in the next release coming out later today. There was another setting we had to set to enable this.
