Dear Sierra,

I have problems with wrong displaying of DPL value in the Trade menu - in chart settings, when I choose to watch but trade different quote symbol, typically to watch e-mini NQ100 but trade micro NQ100, the DPL value shows wrong, I either see one null less in the result or one null more, so instead of having profit of $100, I see profit of $1000 and vice versa. Dont you know where the problem could be?

Thank you

Statistics are calculated using the chart Symbol Currency Value per Tick and RT-Commission.

Does it make more sense to calculate using the Trade and Current Quote Symbol instead, when used?

Check this setting:
Chart Settings: Currency Value Per Tick (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu)

And the Commission should be coming from the Trade symbol. Just make sure you are on a newer version.

I think the Activity Log uses the Trade Symbol, but the chart header DPL uses the Chart Symbol's commission value, causing a mismatch?
