What is the purpose of attaching two screenshots? One is enough.

And we do not know what you mean by "futures multiplier".

You are also using the incorrect symbol. You are going to create various real problems for yourself, including this one, when you do not use the symbols which are listed in File >> Find Symbol. Change the symbol of the chart to match. Refer to:
Chart Settings: Symbol (text box) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu)

For how the Profit/Loss is calculated, refer to:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> Open Profit/Loss (P/L)

As is documented here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SystemsAlerts.php#CellJ10

on the Spreadsheet it is displayed as a currency value.
