Hi Sierra, In Trade Activity Log / Trades screen, the "Cumulative Profit/Loss" column data and the "Total:" cell data at the bottom of the Profit/loss column are wrong when P/L Format is set to "Points - Ignore Quantity" and "Ticks - Ignore Quantity". |

I understand your explanations but I disagree : the "ignoring quantity" format is really useful when considering the gesture rather than the PnL. It is a distinct indicator of the trading quality, for human traders at least. Calculating a sum of ticks ignoring quantity do have a meaning. Purposely distinct than pure profit, indeed. Useless or non-sense for some traders, but very useful for some others. Currently the cumulative PnL and the total have no meaning at all. You could either display the true cumulative sum of profit/loss cells, or set the column to zero to avoid any misunderstanding. |
