Hi, P/L calculations on my charts were working fine until today. But today, it's calculating in reverse. So if I take a long and exit, the calculation of P/L is for short. This is both in the position line and in the DPL. How do I set this right? Thanks.

Help With Daily Profit/Loss Value Hi John, I read through that link before posting. I couldn't find anything relevant to this situation because it shows up on each trade in the position line. |

It should be relevant, as the most likely reason for your P&L being off is that you are missing an Order Fill, so your orders are being tied together incorrectly. This is what that documentation is taking you through the process of determining and fixing.

Hi John, Sorry about that, it was my fault. I got a bit confused there and missed checking my log properly. It looks like Sierrachart had restored two orders somehow, but those orders were already there. I have now deleted the restored orders and all is fine. Thanks very much for your help. |
