Hi,

Somewhere since sierra version 2021 the Profit/Loss values displayed on chart and in Trade Activity Log are displaying incorrect values.

So for example, I trade CL and it's tick value is $10. Commission I pay for CL is $4.56. If I close a single contract trade +4 ticks, it should show $40 profit without commissions enabled or $35.44 with commissions. Instead the without commissions value is displayed as $30.31 and with commissions is $26.89 (so $3.42 is being used for commissions here for some reason instead of $4.56). These incorrect values are same in TAL or on chart with Show Order Fills enabled.

I've checked global symbol settings and Currency Value per tick is set to $10 and Use Global Round Turn Commissions is set to $4.56.

Not sure if there is anything else I need to check to make sure my settings are correct but I don't remember changing anything?

Thanks
S

There is definitively not a problem a newer versions. You need to show us a screenshot of what you are referring to, then we will provide you more information.

Maybe it is converted to a different currency.
