Hi, When I export my trades into a txt file via the trade activity log, the prices for my executions show incorrectly. So for example it seems like it's being multiplied by 100? Why is this? For example for ES trade. If entry price is 4101.0, the file shows it as 410,100. Is this only for futures? Because this is the first time i saw this happen when exporting. Thank You |

This is the original price format from the exchange. If you want to avoid this use the Save Log command instead of export. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Reply from Sierra chart support- This is the original price format from the exchange.

There are no options to set an explicit format for the output from the Trade Activity Log. As you have seen, if you do "File >> Export", you get the the pricing as the exchange actually deals with it, whereas if you do "File >> Save As", then you will get the value that you see in the Trade Activity Log instead. Those are the only options. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

We are extremely confused. The image you last posted shows that you are trading with the "Teton Order Routing Service", but the account from which you are posting is on a "Trial". You can not be trading with the Teton Order Routing while on a trial. If you have another account you are using, then you need to login and post from that account.
