Post From: intray and swing trading

hi, i have a few questions on the subjects of intraday and swing trading;

1. i placed a trade on the dax on an intraday basis yesterday and later in the day i decided to let it run over night as a swing trade. all was good until about 8.30pm gmt my profit and loss on the trade window stopped changing. basically it stayed static with whatever figure was showing at 8.30pm. i also noticed my stop loss and take profit lines disappeared although the order line didn't. i was left unsure whether the order was still live or not till this morning when there was a change in the p&l figure. obviously this isn't ideal. what am i doing wrong? why isn't the swing trade acting the same on the trade window as an intraday trade does?

2. can i have a swing trade running in the background and still intraday trade on the same chart or do i need to start a new instance? ideally, i'd prefer to duplicate the dax charts into a new chart on the same instance i'm using?
