Post From: Position Profit/Loss should probably also apply to order lines

When adjusting attached stop/limit orders on the chart, the displayed value is always in the chart's absolute scale. While this is definitely workable for most people, it's arguable that this should be consistent with the position P/L setting such that when orders are adjusted, the value displayed adheres to that setting. For me, it would reflect ticks, but for others it might reflect total currency, etc. As it is now, it does require one to do some mental math to convert absolute values to tick or currency and it makes a lot of sense for it to just be automatic based on preference. Further argument of using the position P/L setting is the fact that the order lines already show profit/loss using the user's preference for position P/L. It's simply that the displayed offsets when adjusting stops/limits do not. Maybe I'm missing such a setting? I looked through quite a few dialogs to see if there was something preexisting for this, but wasn't able to find anything. BTW: As far as where such a switchable setting could be placed, I'm not sure if this should go into Chart Trade Settings or Chart Settings / Advanced 2. The latter seems to definitely have relevance to order lines as well and also seems to have an empty section where it could be used. But I could see this as something people would probably prefer as a general / global setting rather than a per-chart setting so the former (chart trade) might also make a lot of sense. |
