Post From: Discrepancy in Target Profit Calculation for Micro E-Mini S&P 500 Contracts

Dear Sierra Chart Support Team,

I am experiencing an issue with the trade window configuration in Sierra Chart, specifically regarding the profit calculations for my Micro E-Mini S&P 500 (MES) contracts.

Details:

Contracts Traded: 10 Micro E-Mini S&P 500 contracts
Target 1: 20 ticks
Target 2: 40 ticks
Expected Profit:
For Target 1 (20 ticks): $250 (for 10 contracts)
For Target 2 (40 ticks): $500 (for 10 contracts)
Issue:

When I open a position and my first take profit target is hit (20 ticks), the profit recorded is $125 instead of the expected $250. This discrepancy indicates that the profit calculation might be incorrect or that the target configuration might need adjustment.

Request:

Could you please guide me on how to adjust the target settings in Sierra Chart to ensure that the profit calculations align with the expected values for the given contract size and tick targets? If there are specific configurations or settings that I need to check, kindly provide detailed instructions.

Your assistance in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,
