Hi John
Thanks for your help so far.
I have followed your advice and I Have cleared all simulation orders and data for the BP6 and the MGC symbol. This reset the DPL column back to zero in the simulation mode. In live trading mode the DPL was still reading a very high figure. I realised that when the mini BP contract was removed from the Trade and Current Quote Symbol(Action) section from the Symbol tab in the Chart settings box, the dpl figure was re set back to normal. At this point I thought I had solved the issue. I then went and cleared the trade activity data for the MLCZ24 symbol in non simulation setting. This re set the dpl box to zero.
Unfortunately when I tried to place a trade today on live trading, the position wasn't placed and the P/L column in the trade window immediately read +26571607.67c. The position was recorded as being placed at a price of 2658.50, when at the time the order was placed the price was approx. 1.3394
I pressed flatten and the PL column read -6999.51C.
I have read through the section titled 'Help with Daily Profit/Loss value and cannot find anything in here to help fix this.
After rechecking and looking through the Trade Activity Log again, under the MESM24 symbol there is an entry today at the exact time that I tried to place the short trade on gbp/usd, the order/action source column is reading 'Flagging to reload Trades list in charts'
At the time of the attempted short today, my ES chartbook wasn't even open.
Im not sure if this helps but the specific chart I am looking at was copied across to my B6 chartbook from my es chartbook and then the symbol changed to the gbp/usd, could there possibly be some sort of carry across of information that is confusing the trade window.
I am stuck as to what to do now, should I clear the trade activity on the mesm24 symbol also?
I hope this helps and I really hope we can solve this issue as soon as possible.
If the solution is in the 'Help with Daily Profit/Loss' section could you please help identity which area as I am struggling.
Kindest Regards
Chris
