Global P/L Mngmt shows $ values (like reached profit) divided by 10. Did trade micro for a while and had it as trading symbol and also had changed in chart settings the currency per tick value accordingly. Now changed everything back, still Global P/L Mngmt. seems to keep that. Anywhere else I need to check? The globaly symbol setting is correct imo.

Go to Chart >> Chart Settings and answer the following questions: What is the symbol for this chart? Is there a Trade and Current Quote Symbol set for this chart, if so, what is it? What is the Currency Value per Tick set to for this chart? For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Symbol is ES and the currency per tick is set to 12.5 But: I did find right now 2 charts that where in the background and not in use (also not traded from) that still had microES as Trade and Quote symbol and the 1.25 currency value. I ll check today after a trade if that solved the issue. |

Is it only on the Global Profit/Loss Management that you are seeing the discrepancy? Have you ensured that you only have an open trade on a single chart for F.US.EPZ20 and that the Currency Value of the trade matches what is in the Global Profit/Loss?

The trade activity log shows correct value. Rest I can not say anything else. Symbol is ES. no other trading symbol. 12.5 tick value in the chart settings. I might enter tradees not only from one chart, but all of them are same and I think today all of them were from same chart having that settings above. |

What we are asking is that you go through the process logically and look at the values in the Global Profit/Loss against where you have an open trade and see if the values in the Global Profit/Loss match up to what is on the chart. This way, you can determine the particular chart that is causing an issue.

ok, Ive now looked into it, after I had an order running entered from a chart, that has ES as symbol and the 12.5 as tick value. still prof/loss mng shows just 1/10th of value.

Where are you looking at the Profit/Loss for the trade and what is the value, and then where on the Profit/Loss Management are you seeing the Profit/Loss and what is the value there? If you can include screenshots, that would be helpful. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

We have looked through your chartbook and performed some simulated trades, but everything looks fine. All of the Currency Value per Tick settings look correct for the ES charts. You will have to do some testing on your end to determine if there is a particular chart that is causing this issue, or if this is just a summation of all the open trades.

what u mean "summation of open trades"? I just had 1 trade open and thats it. and also when all trades closed then it the global P&L shows that. My workaround will be, to just also devide my max loss by 10 .... I would not know what testings I could make. I mainly use 1-2 charts for entering trades, mainly 1. anyway, i understand u can not do anything further. |
