Today at 16:02:40 two Trade Positions were closed via the Global PnL Management. My Loss Trigger Value is set to -1300 as shown in the picture attached. However, the Net loss at this moment was to my knowledge and to my trade activity log knowledge far beneath 1300$ - it was 62$ As shown in the picture. This position close cost me money and I cannot understand why it happened. Can you pleas help me and explain me what I should do so that this apparent mistake doesn't happen anymore? https://www.sierrachart.com/Download.php?Folder=TicketingSystem&download=56234 |

You need to understand how the Global Loss Management feature works. The Daily Net Profit/Loss is based upon the data on the Trade Statistics for Charts tab: Trade Activity Log: Trade Statistics for Charts (Chart Stats) Tab Not from the Trades tab. The problem is if you look at that tab now, you will not see the values as they existed at that time. All of this is explained here: Global Profit/Loss Management You really need to understand how this functionality works. We do not recommend using this, unless you are very careful with it, and unless you monitor it carefully and understand exactly how it works.

We see you are using the Trading Evaluator service. We strongly recommend to use the Daily Loss Limit functionality there. This is documented here: Trade Account and Risk Management Do not use the Global Profit/Loss Management feature within Sierra Chart.
