Sierra showing wrong P/L on the Trade Window

Hello.

The following happened on the NQ this morning. On the Trade Window, Sierra was showing a DPL of around 7 points. I closed an open transaction which was losing around 6 points and the DPL changed to 63 points.

I don't trade with more than 6 contracts, but the Trade Activity Log shows two transactions of 8 contracts and one with ten.

The supposed 10 contract transaction reads that the contracts were executed minutes apart.

2019-08-20 10:49:41  NQU9  -2  $7702.50  -2  $4.00
2019-08-20 10:57:11  NQU9  -4  $7724.25  -6  $8.00
2019-08-20 10:59:34  NQU9  4  $7726.75  -2  $8.00

Sierra has never done this.

Please, help.

Are you actually seeing Fill Trade Activity records with quantities greater than you traded?

Thank you for the response. After reading the link you sent, I notice that the FILL Trade Activity Records do NOT show quantities greater than what I traded, but it shows the orders I pasted on my original Support Request.

Reading the Link you sent me, I made sure that Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings the Include Open P/L in Chart/Trade DOM P/L Display (NPL) option was unchecked (it already was, thank you).

I now understand that the discrepancy is possible between the broker's Data and Sierra Chart.

This morning I had to switch Internet connections between my Cable and Cell phone. I don't know if that has anything to do with this issue.

Thanks.
