SC Team - There is a potential bug with Trading Profit loss study ( as well as any calculations associated with Order Fill prices ) when used with remote data service (in my case tried CTS (remote) / CQG (local) ).

Observed this behavior during both live / Sim positions.

It looks like you need to adjust the calculated AveragefillPrice with s_SCOrderFillData::AverageFillPrice * sc.RealTimePriceMultiplier in your trade related studies.

http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?l=1445608936956.png - Bottom of the chart - own study to calculate this information ( which represents the correct values vs DPL(top left) / profit loss text ).

Edit 1 - On second thought - it appears like AverageFillPrice itself might be calculated incorrectly without price multiplier as even the trade stats shows fill price without multiplier applied.

Edit 2 - This is NOT an issue with CTS(Remote) / TT (local) combination. So the issue seems to be specific to CTS(remote)/CQG(local) combination (or potentially a remote/local combination of non-decimal/decimal feeds).

No big deal whether corrected or not as I have them corrected in own studies.. but thought of bringing this to your attention - in case if there is an easier fix on your side.

Thanks

SC Team - Performed few more tests in this case.

If CTS(remote)/CQG(local) - is a supported combination, I can confirm that this is a bug ( unless there is a room for changing the ticksize/multiplier combinations ). I have tried various combinations of ticksize/multiplier and only by leaving everything default - I could use this combination for live / sim trades.

Thanks

CTS(remote)/CQG(local)
