Post From: Theoretical average price using Theoretical not 'Actual' Profit & Loss in the Trade Window

I mean that the 'profit and loss' (P&L) in the trade window (with theoretical ave position setting) is not the same as the 'actual' profit and loss that is accrued by the prop firm once the trade has ended.

It seems to be a theoretical P&L based on the theoretical ave position setting BUT does not match the actual real total in reality.

I also did a test for this, I set up the Trade window with 'Theoretical', and the corresponding chart with Flat to flat, as I wanted to see where my flat to flat average position was during the theoretical position trade on the DOM.

The trade window shows a different P&L to the chart's trade positions P&L.

It seems that even if you have the theoretical ave price applied to the trade window, you will see a theoretical P&L there.... BUT the 'actual' P&L results are more in kin with the Flat to Flat average price, shown on the chart's trade positions indicator and the prop firms final total.
