Post From: Can't Reset Daily Loss Limit?

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong here. I'm experimenting with the Global Profit/Loss Management features, but the Reset button never works for me.

Using Sim, I have it set to flatten on a -100 loss, and lock for the day. Once I hit that loss amount I can no longer trade until the following day. I have encountered two issues:

1. Clicking Reset does nothing. The lock does not reset, and the only way I can actually reset things is to disable Lock Trading and Daily Net Loss Management entirely, click OK, and re-open the settings and increase the loss amount ad re-enable everything.
2. The next time I am allowed to trade appears to be the next calendar day, not session. For instance yesterday (Sunday) at the open I was playing around with this and hit the daily loss limit. This morning when I sat down again after the regular open, I was unable to trade ans was still locked out. Currently it shows I have 17 hours remaining on my lockout, which suggests it last reset at midnight my time (Pacific), but if that were the case then I should not have been locked out from trading this morning.

I have triple-checked all my charts and DOM and they are all set to my local timezone trading session hours (which starts at 06:30:00) and to use the Global Time Zone which is set to Los Angeles. I can't figure out how to get the Loss Limit functionality to behave as I would expect. I have read through the help sections on both the feature itself, and the way the loss calculation is performed, and I don't see anything set wrong. Am I missing something?
