I have noticed something weird over the last few weeks and finally Friday 4 June was the last straw. ******* 1. I entered a short, it turned against me. P/L was showing RED. 2. I clicked flatten. My DPL showed GREEN at 25 ticks (CLE). I thought maybe I clicked BUY instead of sell and thought it was a blessing in disguise. BUT why would my P/L show red...I look at my video recording and it showed I DID click SELL not buy... 3. Made a few more trades LONGS, got stopped out a bit but ended off with +65 GREEN on my DPL. 4. I check my balance I am LESS than I was at open 450 USD down. 5. I opened Qauntower (which I'd prefer not to use) and it confirmed I was down 450. 6. I opened an older version of Sierra 2268 on my laptop and it said DPL was +40. Sceenshot (Laptop2268.jpg). 7. I clicked DATA > REFRESH DATA FROM TRADE SERVICE and both still showed the same. +40 and +65 but both trade logs -45. See attached screenshot (Tradelog.jpg) ******* Earlier in the week another odd thing happened ******* 1. I entered a trade. IMMEDIATELY DPL which showed WHITE ZERO goes to -12 ticks. 2. My trade I entered was still active. 3. Balance showed that somehow ANOTHER trade was entered and exited and YES I was down 120 USD, yet my trade was still open. 4. I closed the ONLY trade I actually entered for a profit and net +6 on DPL. DPL Matched Trade log. 5. Where did the initial -12 come from? I didn't close anything. See attached screen shot (A.jpg) where my positions showed a trade opening and closing IMMEDIATELY - I did NOT do this. ******* Again on Friday SC entered two MORE IMMEDIATE open / close trades - while my actual trades were STILL open. ******* Earlier in the week I had the similar again DPL showed +30. I closed a LONG (P/L showed +25 so current trade was profit). When it hit target and trade closed I was suddenly -75 RED DPL. Somehow I made it back to end with a net profit for the day. ******* I haven't a clue what is to blame. I have spoken to 3 other traders in my group who use Sierra Charts and they say they have ALL had similar yet the problem "went away" on it's own. I always try to run the LATEST versions - currently on 2273. I am using SC - CQG - AMP, so are my friends. One says he doesn't care what DPL shows as long as AMP is accurate. Well in my case AMP is and isn't, or SC is and isn't. I don't know. - It's almost as if Sierra is showing prices for ONE contract but executing orders on another contract? I used CBV. - I don't understand why I click BUY / SELL ONCE and suddenly I am -12 on DPL yet my one and only trade is still active. I told AMP on Friday I want to use Denali and how I should go about it they were rude and abrupt in their response. It's as if there is some sort of animosity between SC and AMP? Needless to say I need help moving to Denali / AMP. I activated DENALI 46 USD option but it doesn't show any DOM BIDs / ASKS. I changed to 56 USD option and the same. What am I doing wrong? All I need is CLE with BID / ASK info My data WAS set to SC DATA. My usage has expired yesterday but don't want to buy again unless until I can get some answers or hints at what could be wrong. I really DO want to keep using SC but not sure where the blame lies for the costly bugs. I am hoping a move to Denali will solve this. |
