Weird position calculation

Hello,

For a while i have this problem on live trading:
- i open a position (ES Futures) lets say at price of 1000
- at the end of the day, the price goes up to 1100, market closed for one hour, the trade is in positive floating and i let it run to the next day
- when the market re-opens at 3pm, the trade entry now showing 1100 on the chart trader and all the floating calculations according to that, it doens't show the real P/L from the beginning of the trade
- when i check the AMP statement at the end of the day, it shows the correct numbers for the floating trade, i can see the P/L correctly and the overall floating profit..

I'm using Sierra data, Rithmic execution and AMP as broker.

Why is this happening? Is it coming from Rithmic or Sierra? Its pretty hard to follow up with a floating trade, when it doesn't show the overall P/L, instead it breaks up the trade to the current day.

Is there a fix? It wasn't like this a few months ago, what happened?

Thank you,

Zolie

Make sure the Order Fills Start Date-Time setting for the chart is set far enough back in time to the beginning of the Position.
