Since upgrading to v1953.. Sometimes NPL updates with Open P/L ticks and sometimes it doesn't. I can't seem to consistently reproduce it. Could it be related to symbol settings or session times? (Global Settings -> Chart Trade Settings -> Include Open P/L in Chart/Trade DOM P/L Display (NPL) checked) edit: It does always update correctly on the Trade Window.

This is definitively not a version specific issue. Refer to: Help With Daily Profit/Loss Value The documentation is very thorough on that subject. Also take note of the section at the very bottom of that page. And for the record, it would be the exception that the information would be reported accurately unless you understand the functionality, and manually intervene to set the proper starting date-time of the order fills and verify there are no missing fills since the start of a position. And once again take note of the information at the bottom of that page for automatic management. It is not supported with CQG.

Thank you for the response. When it was happening, I made sure there were no dangling or incomplete fills. I tried in simulation, with completely cleared trade data, loading all fills. I didn't see any gaps in the Trade Activity Log. The Chart/DOM DPL was always correct.. and it's not that the NPL was ever incorrect.. The NPL simply quit updating with an open position, behaving more like DPL, updating only on closed position. I've ever seen this before until today, with the only change being the recent update. edit: One minute, I think I am able to replicate this.. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-07-23 02:06:55

Okay, so in this instance, longs do update the NPL in real time and shorts do not update the NPL in real time. However, the NPL is always accurate once the position is closed. animated gif attached (53 seconds). edit: second attachment is clearer in more active market, without commissions (42 seconds) Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-07-23 02:02:13

Ok we now see what the problem is. This will be resolved in version 1956. This relates to a change where we no longer include the Open Profit/Loss in the Daily Profit/Loss if the internal Trades list is not tracking the same Position quantity as the actual Position quantity. There was an issue with the sign of a short Position. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
