Hi, I noticed an issue wiTH pnl WHEN USING 'TRADE AND CURRENT QUOTE SYMBOL. Lets take CLEH22 as the main symbol on a dom/ trading chart. If I put in MCLEH22 and check the box Use as trade only symbol. As per the documentation, this should give me volume and price data ie. current traded volume and time and sales data for CLEH22. This seems to work. However in Trade activity log, the PNL for MCLEH22 calculates as if I was trade CLEH22. In order to try and fix this, I have unchecked 'Auto set from data feed' but this does not fix it. I have also checked the detailed tick value and price increments for MCLE symbol which seem to be correct. The ultimate state I would like to have is what is described on the documentation for having the micro symbol in current quote symbol and the use as trade only symbol checked so that the price action, vaolume data on the ladder and time and sales, depth stacking and pulling is all from the main contract. And that the PNL on trade activity log 'Chart stats' is correct for the micro. There are too many different people trying to work around this issue for me to go trying to patch fix this. Best T |

You need to change the Currency Value per Tick for the instrument actually being traded.

1. Can you add a way to automatically adjust the Currency Value per Tick based on the Trade and Quote symbol? 2. When one switches symbols from a Watch List, can you add a way to change the Trade and Quote symbol to the corresponding Micro automatically? 3. Is it possible to remove the USD at the end of some of the Micro symbols? It is confusing and sometimes causes issues with positions not being reported correctly if one forgets to add the USD, which only the Micro has and the Mini does not. |

1. If you are always using a Trade and Current Quote Symbol with a particular symbol, then you would want to set the Symbol Settings for the main symbol to be that of the Trade and Current Quote Symbol. 2. This is available. You would need to enter the Trade and Current Quote Symbol in the Symbol Settings. You can enter the Trade and Current Quote Symbol using Pattern Matching options like in the parent symbol. Refer to the instructions here: Global Symbol Settings: Instructions 3. This is an Interactive Brokers issue. You would need to ask them about what you need to have in the symbol.
