Hi there,

see in the attachted screenshot, that the trade orders window is not showing data allthough I am in a SIM-trade.
Trade / Show orders and positions is activated.
What else could be the reason?

Second question: This has been asked several times, but I haven't found a reasonable solution:
If you are in several positions, most traders want to see an overview of their trades and what the pnL of each trade is.
The Trade Activity Log / Trade Activity is too complicated and confusing
The Trade Activity Log / Trades does not show the PnL.
The Trade Orders Window - as far as I could read in some threads - does not display the PnL.
I can't find out how to display this overview of the running trades and PnLs.
I am sure, it must be there and I haven't found the right procedure yet. Any advice?

On the Trade Orders Window select Edit >> Clear Trade Account Filter.

Why do you say this?:

The Trade Activity Log / Trades does not show the PnL.
There are columns for the Trade Profit/Loss and Cumulative profit/loss.

Here is the documentation:
Trade Activity Log: Trades Tab

And:
Trade Activity Log: Trades Fields Descriptions

1) Trade Orders:
Yes, I cleared Trade Account Filter. Should the active trades be visible now?
They aren't => see screesnhot


2) Trade open PnL in Trade Activity Log:
The Trade Activity Log / Trades does not show Open PnL only closed.
Where can I see the open PnL for all the open trades of all the different instruments?

This means there are no longer any working orders.

Are you doing simulated trading and is Trade >> Trade Simulation Mode On enabled?

Well, in the screenshot you can see that there is an open order.
I guess, your wording means, that an "open order" is not a "working order"?
So I took a screenshot with a Limit Order that has not been fille - maybe this is a working order.
But again: It is not dispalyed in the "Trade Orders" window (see screenshot)

Yes, Trate >> Trade Simulation Mode On is enabled.

But no orders in the Trade Orders Window....

Make sure that Orders >> Order List View Enabled is unchecked.
