I use 2 instances of the above study, Open PL and Daily PL. These 2 values for the YM contract are not posting correctly. When I have a $200 profit on a YM trade, Open PL and Daily PL both post a $100 profit, but yet the Daily Activity Log will show a $200 profit for the very same trade. This just started happening, I haven't changed anything, and the "Trading: Profit/Loss Text" study is working perfectly on the other contracts I'm trading, it's only happening on the YM contract.

Can you please give us screenshots of both the chart with the Profit/Loss Text on it showing an incorrect value and the Trade Activity Log showing the trade(s) and the P/L for those trade(s).

Here's the screenshot of my chart book and a copy of my Trade Activity Log. The $207 profit for the ES posted correctly, the $80 YM profit posted as $38. There was only 1 trade for the day for each contract, so the 2 trades you see is all there is.

Everything is as good as it should be. To make the number bar profiles to appear less crowded I had changed the tick size from 1 to 2 a while back and I had forgotten about doing that (I really don't bring up the YM that much). Change it back to the normal 1 tick size and the profit/loss study works perfectly.
