Good morning engineers,
Looks like that the column of the Max Open Loss is showing strange values. It seems subtracting 1 cent for long positions and adding 1 cent for short positions. I have latest release 2222 did you change something in the source code of the Trade Activity Log? Thanks.

This is just simply due to floating-point error. This is not anything to be concerned with.

I am extensively using the trade activity log to analyse my activity. I am pretty sure that a couple of versions ago it was not happening, or at least it never happened to me to experience this floating-point error. I also don't know if this error can be due to some changed setting in my SC configuration. I can't remember any change from my side. If it is not depending from my SC configuration therefore potentially this error could be a software regression. Of course this would not be a top priority software issue... but if you are not concerned with a potential sofware regressions hey, nevermind... we sure can live with that :-)

From our perspective this is not unusual and is expected when working with floating-point values.
