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

BTW: As a real world example of how this would be highly useful: .01/tick type contracts like CL are straightforward and easy to map ticks to minimum price movements, but things like DX, ES, NQ, etc which may use different minimum price increments require the user to have to think to think about it when considering what something like .075 offset means in relation to ticks and ultimately per contract risk and profit. Having the order line just reflect this in their desired position P/L format takes some of the work out of this and overall makes the interface more consistent. Also, as a lot of us here know, in many cases people don't want to be thinking about absolute value differences and/or money at all, they simply operate entirely within a tick or point (or whatever is consistent) mindset.
