Yes, i know about that.
just with all my sadness, i will be honest with you - absenting clear field with current p/l the reason to have a dublicate platforms, like as very cuted (if comparing with Sierrachart) CQG qTrader. For many former users of Metatrader, Oanda, FXCM, which migrated to real market, simple table with profit-loss for current trade is very necesarry.
Or just field in your "Trade Activity logs" - this would be enought. your statistic more full then Qtrader for example - Qtrader even not printing TIME of deal!!! - But open position information with clear P/L - this is brain pain with SierraChart for many people.

Thank you a lot for answering.

if you use an external broker for trading and data, a possible solution is to have the broker software open showing your open positions, avg price for positions, current price and open P/L. that is how I do it. you can resize the broker window so it takes a small amount of space on your second screen to monitor your P/L.

We will be adding a column to the Trade >> Trade Orders and Positions >> Positions tab to indicate the Open Position Profit/Loss for each Trade Position, but you can also see this on the Trade Window for the chart and also the Trade Position line on the chart. Refer to:
