I am using the variable DailyProfitLoss
I understand that it corresponds to "Daily P/L" on the "Orders and Positions Window"?

I also see that if a trade starts on Monday and closes on Tuesday, this trade is not taken into account for the daily PnL on Tuesday - right? Is there a way to change this behavior so that the trade is taken into account based on the day it closed on?

A trade which spans more than 24 hours will not be included in the Daily Profit/Loss.

You can control the start of the 24 hour period through Global Settings >> General Settings >> Daily Stats Reset Time.

There are no plans to change this. There is a lot of complexity involved in calculating the Daily Profit/Loss accurately and a lot of consideration and thought has gone into this to make sure that it works properly under various scenarios and there is no chance we would ever change the way it works.
