Trade Activity Displaying wrong currency value per tick

Using Interactive brokers.
Set up is Dtc Server connected to 3 clients (Sub instances).
Symbol MYM.
Global Symbol Settings >> MYM >> currency value per tick 0.5. (Using Defaults)
Reports in trade activity log seem to be using a currency value of 1/tick on MYM instead of 0.5.
Additionally reports are not adding round trip commission to trades (0.94). The custom value is enabled for this setting only.
Is there a setting I am missing somewhere that can cause this behavior?

We need more information as to how you come to this conclusion.

Can you provide a screenshot showing a particular part of the Trade Activity Log you are looking at.

Attached is a screen shot of the trades tab. I have highlighted boxed the fields that caused me to arrive at the conclusion.
The commission column is out of view but all those say 0 instead of 0.94 as well.

Hope this helps.

We see what the problem is. The symbol is not correct. You need to change the symbol in the charts and anywhere else it is used to this format:
MYM-######-ECBOT-USD


Refer to:
Changing the Symbol of a Chart

After that reconnect to the data feed:
File Menu: Procedure to Reconnect to the Data and Trade Servers

Also update Sierra Chart to the current version:
