I am buying multiple contracts and the avg price tends to be correct and then after some time (few hours or over nights) -- the price completely changes. I have added two position I have on MES and MNQ --- you can see that the MES position in Sierra Charts is completely wrong and shows me in profit when it really is not. Which is very misleading and can cause a premature loss or premature profit. the MNQ position is also way off. I attached three picture to show where you have the price and what the price should be.
