DPL counter differs from the real profit and the profit in Trade Activity Log

When I traded simulation mode, everything was fine.
Now I startet trading MES in an ES chart, I use ESH21_FUT_CME as symbol, while setting MESH21_FUT_CME as Trade and Current Quote symbol.
While being in a trade, the P/L-display shows the correct value of ticks being in profit or loss. When a trade hits the takeprofit or the stoploss, it seems to me a total random amount of ticks is added or subtracted to or from the DPL counter.
For example, a trade hitting the TP with 40 ticks profit can result in a 50 ticks loss in the DPL counter, a trade being stopped out breakeven can result in 20 ticks more profit on the DPL counter, even a loss can add profit - I do not even recognize any system behind this counting.
For example, my Trade Activity Log for today shows 65 ticks profit, which should be correct, but my DPL shows 14 ticks profit.
What can I do about that, it annoys me a little, I would like to know my actual performance during the day?
