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. Luis Aquino |

For the Daily Profit/Loss, refer to: Help With Daily Profit/Loss Value I don't trade with more than 6 contracts, but the Trade Activity Log shows two transactions of 8 contracts and one with ten. 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. |
