I have the option set for (I forget the exact name but) theoretical average price. Its the option that means that if I take 2 contracts and make a 4 point gain and sell one, then my breakeven price drops 4 points lower. This is really helpful when working a position to improve an entry price. So Box A shows the current working P&L from when the first contract was opened. However, the accrued P&L box (box B) updates each time a contract is exited. So the outcome is as follows... I had a trade with 43 points open profit and showing 102.25 points of closed profit. BUT when I close the trade I end up with 112.75 total closed profit. I'd much rather the closed P&L not update at all while the position is open and only update once the final contract is closed. Hopefully this makes sense. I feel like there is maybe an option I'm missing where I can set this. Many thanks. |

Ah ok, thanks. Hopefully you can add this to a wishlist. It would really help those of us that work entries in the manner described. Perhaps an options like 'Update Closed PnL only when flat' Thanks again though, appreciate the response. |
