1.)
I guess there could be a bug regarding time zones in the two studies Closed Profit/Loss and Daily Profit/Loss.
Description:
First, I have trades on the chart, but they seem to be ignored by the studies Closed Profit/Loss and Daily Profit/Loss.
Then, I realized that my trades are ignored only in the morning until an imaginary time border at about 11 a.m. every day.
Please see the attached image ProfitLossUTCplus2_20140816.png.
I checked the following:
My Daily Stats Reset Time is set to midnight.
My session time goes around the clock. Changes in session time have no effect.
But if I change the time zone by one hour the imaginary time border shifts by 2 hours.
So, after changing the time zone from UTC+2 to UTC-3 I can see all my trades in both studies.
Please see the attached image ProfitLossUTCminus3_20140816.png.
Background info: The example above was taken from fdax future trades at the Eurex, opening from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. CEST (=UTC+2).

Could you please have a look a give me feedback. Maybe I missed only a config item.

2.)
One additional question regarding these studies Closed Profit/Loss and Daily Profit/Loss:
In the documentation there are two input parameters described:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TradeStatusWindows.html#TradeDataStudies
I can also see at least one input value (=0) in the screenshots provided above.
Could you please let me know where I can enter these input values. In the tab 'Settings and Inputs' of the 'Study Setting' there are no inputs.

Thank you very much in advance and best regards.
