Post From: Maximum Open Position Profit/Loss going backwards

I've noticed during live trades that the maximum open position profit and loss can sometimes change in the opposite direction (i.e., the max open position profit goes down during a trade). Obviously one would expect it to stay at a value until that value is exceeded. Interestingly enough, even when I see the max open profit decrease during a trade, once the trade is closed, the value will change to the correct highest value. I read http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_TradeActivityLog.php#TradesTabFieldsDescriptions and it mentions that SC does its best to record the high/low prices during the life of the trade but that inaccuracies can occur. Is there a more reliable way to capture this value? Or a way to prevent inaccuracies? It can be useful to calculate retracement levels, but not if the high point is inaccurate. |
