Using trade only symbol small issue

I use MNQ as the trade symbol with NQ data on the dom. I have commissions to be calculated into the pnl of the trade window.
I applied round turn commission in symbol settings for F.US.MNQ.

At times I reference the trade window and the pnl is not matching that on my trade statistics. (most of the time it is)
If I reload the symbol for my dom to MNQ it loads the proper pnl which matches the trade statistics.

I noticed the wrong pnl in the trade window is simply my pnl without factoring commissions. Just for reference the entire symbol is F.US.ENQZ21/F.US.MNQZ21

Am I missing a specific setting in the NQ or MNQ symbol settings?

Thank you

It sounds like you do not have the Use Commission option on the Trade Activity Log enabled. Refer to the following:

It is enabled, the pnl in the trade statistics is correct.
It's in the trade window of my chart dom where it is not.

When I have the chart dom set only to my trade symbol (MNQ) everything is fine. This issue only appears when I am using NQ for the quote and MNQ for the trade symbol.

This solved it. It appears that the Currency Value per Tick had been changed most probably from changing the symbol back and forth.
This is something very important that can be easily missed by someone using the Use as trade Only Symbol function.

Thanks
