I'm looking at the trade window with my DOM, I buy into the ask price, but then the P&L displays -1 simply because a seperate market order traded down into the offer as it's based on the last traded price, when the P&L lights up red it makes me think I'm losing when really it's just normal market operation and my position still retains it's entry value. Is there anyway to adjust this in the settings? |

UPDATE: Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> Use Bid/Ask for Open Profit/Loss Calculations - I have this enabled however when I place a market order the P&L shows that I'm down one tick simply for giving up the bid-ask spread upon my entry, I would rather it just be flat as really it's just an entry point, the P&L should be determined by where you enter and exit the trade, not by where one enters alone, any way I can set it up to not take me down -1 tick for entering on a market order?
