Post From: Updated to Version 1803 - 32 Bit

I updated my SC software yesterday after the market close to version 1803. I am using the 32 bit version. I did have to go in and reset some of my graphic settings which were changed back to a default. But, the main issue I am having today is that my daily profit/loss display is now incorrect...it is close...but incorrect.

I have read thru the documentation at Help With Daily Profit/Loss Value and looked at every suggestion within that documentation, but the problem remains. Here is the problem....

I have the display set for "points" and I am trading the mini-nasdaq (0.25 points per tick). I have read thru all the SC documentation and I have gone thru every setting I can find to see if I can fix the problem. I can not find the problem. The issue is that the daily profit/loss has an additional 0.17 point deducted for every trade (winner or loser). So, if I am trading one contract and I happen to win 16 ticks (4 points), the DPL says 3.83 instead of 4.0. For example...today's trading has been negative so far and I had trades of -16 ticks, -16 ticks, -12 ticks, -16 ticks, +16 ticks...net DPL on the chart should be -11.00P (i.e., minus 44 ticks). But, the DPL says -11.85P (and additional 0.17 points per trade). There was no slippage on any of the trades.

Weird. I do have commissions input into Symbol Settings (which are correctly shown in my Trade Log)...but the commissions are not shown within the daily P/L on the chart (which is correct since I do not want commissions shown in the P/L box...I just want the Points shown).

Any ideas?
