I'm charting NQ and have MNQ set as the trade and current quote symbol. I'm trading with a spreadsheet and it picked-up the NQ currency value ($5/tick), so have set a custom currency value of $0.50/tick in symbol settings for NQ. - 0.50 is now correct in the spreadsheet (J56). - Chart > Chart Settings > Symbol menu is correct and has currency value (0.5) and Tick size (0.25). - The trade window correctly shows Open Profit/Loss with "p" or "t" format when selected in Chart Settings -> Trading. But chart trade window's DAILY profit/loss only shows in "Points" (i.e. "D:168T"), so cannot ignore quantity and display "p" or "t" values. Documentation said to check the currency value per tick at Chart > Chart Settings > Symbol, but it's correct and shows 0.25: Chart Settings: Profit/Loss Format (List) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu) The only way to have the daily PL ignore quantity and show "t" (i.e. "14t") is to add the "Trading: Profit/Loss Text" study which has that option. So that I don't have to draw text on the chart, is there a way to have the chart's Trade Window Daily Profit/Loss use the "t" and "p" Profit/Loss format? I think it's possible according to the documentation, which says: The Position Profit/Loss setting sets the format of the Open Profit/Loss display for the Trade Position line on a chart and all other Profit/Loss displays on the chart and Trade Window for the chart, including the Daily Profit/Loss.
If it matters, I have two computers and am trading live on one (Teton) and sim trading on another. SC 2419. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-10-04 19:13:38
