Hi, The 'DlyPL' in Trade Window is not updated every time I close a position. I'm using Interactive Brokers' TWS, it seems that Sierra is able to read the daily P/L from TWS, because if I disconnect and re-connect to the data feed, the 'DlyPL' will be updated and the correct number will be shown. Not sure what I missed. I have read the article Help With Daily Profit/Loss Value and couldn't find the answer to my issue. I also noticed a minor typo in that article, in 2nd paragraph from bottom, it should be "Advanced Settings", without "2" Thanks |

We have corrected the documentation. When you notice the problem and you reconnect to the data feed, see if you notice an insertion of an order fill in Trade >> Trade Activity Log>> Trade Activity for the particular Symbol and Trade Account that the Daily Profit/Loss is for: Trade Activity Log: Viewing Historical Trade Activity Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Just tested this morning. When I open a position, the "P/L" (unrealized P/L) in Trade Window is updating in real time, and the position line appears on my chart, but the Trade Activity is empty, if I disconnect and reconnect the data feed (while leaving my position open), I see an insertion of the open order. After I close my position, the "P/L" is set to 0, but Trade Activity and 'DlyPL' in Trade Window are not updated, after I disconnect and reconnect again, I see the insertion of the close order in Trade Activity window and 'DlyPL' is also updated with correct number. I also noticed, I have this issue when I execute my orders in IB TWS, if I execute orders directly from Sierra chart window, then everything works. Thanks Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-07-11 16:52:49

You are using Interactive Brokers and in addition you are not trading from Sierra Chart.
