We realize the instructions at step 21 here were not necessarily going to work in all cases when trying to get a match with the Daily Profit/Loss between a chart and the Trade Activity Log. A better explanation has been given:

Refer to step 21.

And also the screenshot is not following the instructions in that documentation:

For example you still have the Use Commission setting enabled and you did not select a particular Symbol and Trade Account. These last two items, are a major item and why you cannot expect to have a match.

You should also select to display the PL in Points both on the chart and the Trade Activity Log to remove additional complexity with potential inconsistent settings like the Currency Value per Tick.
