Hi Support, I watched the demonstration video on how to set up the user profit/loss management functionality. https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/VideoLibrary.php&Video=Server_Side_User_PL_Management I'm using a trading evaluator connection on a VPS testing a strategy and want to implement a profit trigger to flatten position if met. See screenshot of my edit trade account: 0000. You will see my loss management is set at -500 but the profit loss value after profit trigger does not show 800. I ran a chart replay test to see if the loss management would trigger but it didnt either. I checked Global Profit/Loss Management to see if there might be something conflicting but there is nothing enabled from that setting. Would I have to enable and/or match that setting too? See attached global profit/loss management screenshot? In summary, I have three trading evaluator accounts I would like to set separate profit/loss management for. Any help with setting this up is appreciated. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your help. Hai-Nam

We just tested the loss trigger to ensure that it is working properly, and it worked as expected. Keep in mind, the Trading Evaluator "User Profit/Loss Management" does not work in replay. When running a replay, the system is in Simulation Mode. With regards to the profit, you need to first hit the trigger value of 1000 and then the "Profit Value After Trigger to Flatten Positions in Account Currency" will kick in.

ok - regarding replay mode 2 of 3 three accounts I set for the profit trigger executed today and flatten positions. My next question is how I can see the trigger value of 1000 under 'read only values'? It appears the profit management is working but I am not able to see under 'read only values' at the bottom. Thanks, Hai-Nam
