The Daily Net Profit is calculated only for the symbols which have open Charts or Trade DOM windows.

How does this feature work if there are several sub-instances running, each with separate symbols, with the orders being entered in the sub instances? Is it necessary to load a chartbook in the Main instance with a chart of each symbol being traded and the correct profit and loss display settings at all times?

How are multiple positions in different currencies handled?

It works exactly as it does in a main instance . There are no differences. The documentation is fully applicable to sub instances as well.

If there are positions in different currencies you will want to use this setting to make sure they are all in a common currency:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Common Profit/Loss Currency (Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> General)

@T44, were you able to set up your Global Profit/Loss Management in a sub instance using a chartbook with all traded symbols charts in it, and get it working well?

Also are DOMs, or charts with nothing drawn/loaded the most efficient way to do this with a large number of symbols traded/charts needed? Trying with a lot of DOMs in one instance, I am seeing SC get bogged down when switching chartbooks.

Would rather set all these additional charts/DOMs for accurate Chart Stats/PnL Management up, along with Trade Stats for Charts, Account Balance, Orders, Positions all in an additional sub instance if possible to reduce CPU load in Main instance. So far DOMs for all traded symbols set up afterwards are not getting all fills/PnL to show correctly in Trade Stats tab.

Does the Daily Loss Management only need to be set up in one sub instance only then, and will work across all instances? Curious how you did it.
