Post From: Different Position and P/L data in Chart trader on 2 devices using IB trading account

Hello!

I need some support. I have 2 computers with installed Sierra and IB. Both of them have similar Sierra settings (I just copied all needed settings files from one to another). I have a long position in IB and sometimes trade the same stock using Sierrachart and IB as a trade service. What do I have is seen on enclosed screenshots. On one PC Chart trader of SC after disabling Trading Simulation mode shows me all the position I have as well as total P/L (and this is terribly uncomfortable, because after buying more stocks it continues showing total P/L of all the position and not only P/L of last trade). At the same time, PC where to I copied SC from previous one (so, it is the latest one where I installed SC) doesn't show my total position, but only actual trade position and P/L.

The question is - what am I missing in settings on the first PC? I checked settings of DOM, trading, connection, general settings and API settings in IB but they are absolutely similar... I just want Chart Trader only show my actual trades and don't show my overall position and P/L.

Screenshots are made from 2 computers with Trading simulation mode disabled and IB connected as trade service

Regards,
Sergei
