I would like to change my platform settings so the platform only shows a change in open profit or loss when the actual bid or ask moves, not when the last traded price ticks up or down. For example: I am long ES at 3690.00, bid is at 3690, ask is at 3690.25, when the last trade was at 3690.25 my platform shows an open p/l of $12.5, while in fact my open p/l should still be $0 since the bid did not move to 3690.25. Is there a way to change this? |

Find the General Trade Settings window and set Use Bid/Ask for Open P/L Calculations to achieve the behavior you require.

Additional question guys. The DOM is now showing the correct PnL ratio, but the chart stats in the trade activity log still seem to be displaying open PnL based on last price instead of bid ask, is there any way to change it for the chart stats in the trade activity log as well? |
