I would like to see how much PnL is from the open trades. How can I do this? Either total or by trades or by symbol.. any of these would do.

I can't use the Trading: Profit/Loss Text Study as I'm trading MES on an ES chart and so this is not calculated correctly. I think it calculates using points/ticks and converts that into a currency value based on the tick/point value of the chart (ES) not the trading symbol (MES), so it is inaccurate.For instance today's trades show a Daily or Closed PnL using this study of 13737.50C whereas Trade Activity Log says $1373.75 because in reality I traded 5 MES contracts not 5 ES... chart is ES but set for trading MES.

note: Chart Calculator "CV" also calculates this way

When using a Trade and Current Quote Symbol you need to update the Currency Value per Tick to reflect the information for the entered symbol in the Trade and Current Quote Symbol. Refer to the information here:
