During replay trading, the P/L line in the Trade Window is stuck at 0.00 i.e. it shows P/L: 0.00C

Also, the Trade Window Pos Qty@Price line shows: -4@0.00

Finally, the horizontal Entry line is way down at 0.00 and shows: -4@0.00|P/L: 0.00C

However, if I turn on attached orders, the stop loss and profit lines appear correctly on the chart.

When the trade completes, the DPL box is correctly updated.

I've tried this in two different installs. One using 2074 and the other using 2077.

This was working previously with 2063 (I just updated today)

This definitely cannot be true. This is completely unrelated. There must have been something else you did which worked around the issue.

However, the problem is that you need to clear this Order Fills Start Date-Time setting:
Chart Settings: Order Fills Start Date-Time (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

Or set it back further in time. We have done a review of that documentation and made extensive updates.

Perhaps there was something that I did not explain clearly in my original post. I have now replicated this issue three times. For your convenience I have summarized below the steps I took. I have also attached a recording showing the steps and the result.

Step 1. In version 2063 verify that the Order Fills Start Date-Time setting is blank.

Step 2. Run replay and trade in version 2063. This works perfectly.

Step 3. Update to 2077 using Help -> Download PreRelease.

Step 4. In version 2077, verify that the Order Fills Start Date-Time setting is blank.

Step 5. Run Replay and enter long in version 2077...the entry price is showing 0.00 in the Trade window and on the chart.

As you will note in the video, the only thing that I did was to update to version 2077 and did nothing else to work around the issue.

There is no need to provide a video. We do not look at videos.

We cannot reproduce this. The only thing that we could think of but this does not make sense, is to check this setting:
Chart Settings: Open Position Average Price (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

We also want you to follow this procedure:

Select File >> Disconnect.
Select Global Settings >> Convert Trade Activity Format.
Select File >> Connect to Data Feed.
This procedure only needs to be done once.

Thank you, this was the issue.

Prior to the update I was using "Use Theoretical Position Average Price". However, after the update the Open Position Average Price box was blank.

After I chose "Use Theoretical Position Average Price", the entry price is now correctly showing in the replay.

Ok we have to put a validation in for that setting.
