We need more information. In particular, please give us the following: - Is the image you provided of the Trade Activity Log itself, or was the data exported and then displayed using Excel or some other program? - Please double check the Chart Time Zone setting - and let us know what it is set to. If it is set to use the Global Time Zone, then please let us know what the Global Time Zone is set to. - You highlight a trade that is taken at 19:18:39.896726. What should this time have been?

If it is set to use the Global Time Zone, then please let us know what the Global Time Zone is set to. ---- The Chart Time Zone Setting is New York - You highlight a trade that is taken at 19:18:39.896726. What should this time have been? 2:18 ie 14:18... ALSO MY ORDER FILLS ARE NOT SHOWING ON THE CHART EITHER |

With regards to the time issue - at the top of your chart is the Chart Header that has various information in it - by default. One of the items is the time of the last bar that is displayed in your chart. Please ensure that your chart is scrolled to the very end, so you are viewing the most recent bar, and that you have the time displayed at the top of the chart. Then take a screenshot of that chart by following these instructions: Support Board Posting Information: Attaching or Posting a Screenshot/Image (Optional) Also, please let us know the time of your computer at approximately the time you take the image above (it does not need to be exact - we just need to know the general offset in times). If you do not have the time displayed, then refer to the following for how to add it to the Chart Header - as we need to view this time: Global Settings Menu: Customize Chart Header - Standard (Global Settings menu) -- With regards to the Trade Window - that P refers to "Profit", not Points (and the L for the Stop is "Loss"). Since the MNQ has a Currency Value per Tick of 0.5, this makes sense.

but can you please tell me why my trade fills are not showing up on my charts
|

John - SC Support - Posts: 34254 |
Most likely the reason for the fills not showing is that you are not viewing the proper symbol. Keep in mind you are using a "Trade and Current Quote Symbol", so you need to have a chart for MNQ open to see the fills, since that is what you are actually trading. Another possibility is that the Trade Window does not have the correct Account selected. Refer to the following: Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> Trade Account (Selecting Trade Account for Chart / Trade DOM) The entire list of things to check for regarding displaying order fills is at the following link: Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Displaying Order Fills on the Chart For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

What exactly is the issue? You had stated that the times were incorrect previously. If the times of these order fills are incorrect, then choose one fill and let us know what time it shows and what time it should have been.

Can you get us an image of your chart where you placed the orders, showing the Order Fills on the chart and have the chart scrolled back to where the first trade occurred (09:24:58). Follow these instructions to get us your image: Support Board Posting Information: Attaching or Posting a Screenshot/Image (Optional) Also, what is the Time Zone of the chart set to (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Session Times >> Time Zone)? If the Chart Time Zone is set to "Use Global Time Zone" then what is your Global Time Zone set to (Global Settings >> Time Zone)?

That chart is set to a Time Zone of New York. Do you have other charts that you trade from that are set for a different time zone?
