Post From: How to have better granularity in P&L (ACSIL)

All, Firstly I assume that everybody working with ACSIL does not need an explanation about how to show the P&L of a Chart/Study on-screen. Or maybe this is to keep you guys objective. Now : Suppose a symbol like EUR.USD. See attached Sierra14 for the settings. When I use the normal properties for it, the granularity is 2.50 euro. This can't be normal ... Or IOW, what can I be doing wrong or what can be wrong in general. I searched the life out of me for formatting/rounding options, but I don't see anything about it (I actually hope I missed it). Also, what's seen in the Sierra14 attachment is correct IMO but anyway setting that to smaller numbers does not change a thing (and shouldn't, I'd say). I tried to improve on this myself, and in the Sierra14a and Sierra14b attachments you see this happening. What I do here is calculating the pip distance to a percentage and from there calculate the better granular P&L (you can kind of see the base data for this in the a and b attachments). Notice that the 2nd "PL:" number is what SC would report herself to the interface, which is the same as the red or green trade bar shows and which is what accumulates in the NPL number in the top of the screen. The first "NPL:" number comprises my own calculation. What can I have set wrongly so the P&L rounds to 2,50 euros ? Thanks for any insight ! Peter |
