Since Scale In is not selected, when you place a second order the quantity of the attached order is not increasing, but the "Position Average Price" is changing. Therefore, the profit value that is displayed is the attached orders will adjust based on that new position average price. This is why your value went down when you added another trade.

Refer to the following for different options available for how the Position Average Price is calculated. One of the options may work better for how you do your trading:
