see the video. Daily P/L isn't calculating, the order lines are getting off when I scale out. This error is unacceptable! It only started once I updated to Sierra 1132

Update to version 1134 with Help >> Download Prerelease. We switched the Open Profit/Loss calculation method back to using the Last trade price instead of the Bid and ask prices.

In regards to the Trade Position Average Price, it sounds like you want to use what is known as the Flat to Flat calculation method. There is an option to use that. The current calculation method is correct. All of this is described in here:

We have now watched the video.

We suspect the problem with the Daily Profit/Loss calculation has to do with a problem with the order fills. You may be getting unmatched fills. Which means there is a problem with the open/close state of the fill.

The general solution is to clear the Trade Activity data for the symbol when your position is flat for the symbol. This is so you get a clean state going forward. Here are the instructions:

We have other reports of this and we are beginning to realize that this is likely a problem with the calculation of the open position average price in the internal trades list. We are looking into it now.
