The Net P/L that is shown is -$33.75. You have the profit/loss set to show as Currency, and since that particular product is traded in dollars, the currency is then in dollars. Just be sure that you have the correct setting for the Currency Value per Tick, as you are using a Trade and Current Quote Symbol, so your Currency Value Per Tick needs to be set for the trading symbol.

I see. I had a look at the link you have sent and the same time I understand, I am a bit lost as I'm new to this platform and it's a lot of info to take in. Attached, I have got a screenshot of my symbol settings. Are they correct for S&P500? Most importantly, am I actually in micro? If yes, how to I change it to full size? For what I can understand, changing "use as trade only symbol" to NO would suffice. Is this correct? Until I hear from you, I will continue to trying to understand the link you've sent. Please advise. |

The Currency Value per Tick setting is correct for the chart based upon the Trade Symbol you are using.

If you just want to trade the e-Mini S&P 500 and not the Micro, then you would need to remove the symbol from the Use as Trade and Current Quote Symbol and have that field be blank. Refer to the following for the Use as Trade Only Symbol: Chart Settings: Use as Trade Only Symbol (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
