1.)
I guess there could be a bug regarding time zones in the two studies Closed Profit/Loss and Daily Profit/Loss.
Description:
First, I have trades on the chart, but they seem to be ignored by the studies Closed Profit/Loss and Daily Profit/Loss.
Then, I realized that my trades are ignored only in the morning until an imaginary time border at about 11 a.m. every day.
Please see the attached image ProfitLossUTCplus2_20140816.png.
I checked the following:
My Daily Stats Reset Time is set to midnight.
My session time goes around the clock. Changes in session time have no effect.
But if I change the time zone by one hour the imaginary time border shifts by 2 hours.
So, after changing the time zone from UTC+2 to UTC-3 I can see all my trades in both studies.
Please see the attached image ProfitLossUTCminus3_20140816.png.
Background info: The example above was taken from fdax future trades at the Eurex, opening from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. CEST (=UTC+2).

Could you please have a look a give me feedback. Maybe I missed only a config item.

2.)
One additional question regarding these studies Closed Profit/Loss and Daily Profit/Loss:
In the documentation there are two input parameters described:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TradeStatusWindows.html#TradeDataStudies
I can also see at least one input value (=0) in the screenshots provided above.
Could you please let me know where I can enter these input values. In the tab 'Settings and Inputs' of the 'Study Setting' there are no inputs.

Thank you very much in advance and best regards.

1. We have the problem now solved. There was a significant amount of work to debug and correct the issue.

Version 1176 which resolves this will be out later today.
