Having some differences in current POS, P/L and Daily PL when using Sim mode. Have been placing orders from different charts. The difference seems to be mainly with the Dom in respect to the other charts. Is there something i need to do to have these synchronized properly? |

This is too vague for us to help with. We need to know precisely what you are referring to and we need you to describe one single problem to start with and not a range of issues. What specific value are you looking at, where do you see it, and what difference are you seeing and what are you comparing to. Do you have Trade >> Trade Simulation Mode On enabled?

Yes, Trade simulation mode is on. The Qty in the Dom shows (5) more contracts than the Qty shown in the chart trader(on various open charts). The DailyPL in the Dom shows a different amt from that on the Chart Trader. I've entered trades via the Dom AND via the charts at different times. I have since flattened and re-entered several times and am now seeing the same amt of contracts in both. However the DailyPL is still different in the Dom compared to what is being shown on chart trader. My confusion is about why these aren't synchronizing. |

Make sure the Simulation Fills Source is set the same for each of these charts: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TradeMenu.html#SimulationFillsSource Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Yes they are the same. I've restarted several times. I've flattened. As u can see here the DailyPL still calculates differently. This doesn't happen when live, but is slightly confusing while testing. Especially when it was showing different amounts of contracts. |

Yes, we see what you mean. For each of these charts/Trade DOMs select Chart >> Reload and Recalculate from the menu. Although we see that you say that you restarted which is effectively the same thing. So to confirm the Simulation Fills Source is the same on both of them? Open a new chart, and attach a Trade Window to it. The Daily PL must match one of them, which one? Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Hi, I've followed your suggestions. (reload/recalculate) And yes Simulation Fills Source is the same except when it comes to the Dom.. there is no option to select Simulation Fills Source on that menu. I've opened a new chart to see what appears in the Trade Window.. and as you can see, it adds further confusion. |

edit: Sorry I hadn't updated the symbol in the 'new window' to match the "ES". Here it is again.. The number of contracts match now. Which is good. only thing is the Daily PL which does not. Earlier the number of contracts were differing as well as the Daily PL. And all windows were set to /ES. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-05-04 23:00:49

Would it be OK if we call you and look into the problem using remote assistance? We have a few ideas. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

We need to understand the source of the problem. Can you make sure the Time Zone is not set differently between these charts and Trade DOM windows where you saw the differences. This setting is in Chart >> Chart Settings >> Advanced Settings. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

Time Zones are all consistent (CST). A couple things came to mind i thought may be potential factors; how DailyPL is calculated on orders held overnight and re-starting Sierra while a position is being held. I've been able to re-create the problem. It has to do with being in a position and then re-starting Sierra. For an experiment, I entered short (-10) contracts, Closed and restarted Sierra. When the charts opened and calculated POS in the trade windows, the Dom added an additional 5 contracts to my POS. (-15) Thus affecting the DailyPL in the Dom as well. (see attachment) at this point, I flattened from the Dom. The Dom then read (0) POS however the trade window on the 1min chart now said (+5). I then flattened from the 1min chart's trade window and it then read (0) however the Dom now said (-5). Flattened once more on the Dom and this time all read (0) finally. The DailyPL (on the Dom) however still +10pts off from the other trade windows. The charts appear to be consistent. It seems to be an issue with the Dom. I am using a number of Study/Price overlays on the Dom, if that has any bearing. |

Go to each Chart/Trade DOM and make sure the following option is unchecked: Chart >> Chart Settings >> Advanced Settings >> Load Order Fills for Current Day Only Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
