Hi,
I am not certain precisely what is going on with my DPL. What is displayed in Sierra Charts is double, exactly double, what get reported from my broker, Ironbeam.

If Sierra Chart shows a DPL of +$5, my Ironbeam reflects that I have a DPL of +$10. If Sierra Chart shows my DPL as -$3, Ironbeam reflects that I have a DPL of -$6.

The DPL is reflected in real-time and also matches up with the end-of-day report I receive from Ironbeam.

Why is my DPL exactly double what my broker account is reporting?

Check the "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Currency Value per Tick" and make sure it is set correctly for the instrument you are trading.

And, if you are using a "Trade and Current Quote Symbol" make sure the "Currency Value per Tick" is set correctly for the "Trade and Current Quote Symbol" you are using. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Updating Currency Value per Tick for Trade Symbol
