v2028:

This is sim to show the issues:

1. Trade/Quote Symbol doesn't show QM positions on CL chart properly.

2. QM price/multiplier has some pricing issue. See pic attached.

3. Trade Activity Log Chart Stats shows PnL from source chart, not trade symbol.

4. Both of these issues, seem to incorrectly activate global daily loss limit. Will this also affect live trading?

To clarify, the QM price shows as 552.00 instead of 55.20 on the Trade Activity Log in the screenshot shown, showing the pricing issue.

We are declining support for this. This is an unsupported configuration. Do not use it. There are some configurations with the Trade and Quote symbol which just do not work properly. We will not respond further here.

That makes sense. But issue #2 and #3 seem unrelated and separate.

Does Sierra support trading QM? How can that price issue be fixed?

Does Sierra support Daily Loss Limit using Trade/Quote symbol?

Please clarify, this affects live trading.

A CQG user has informed me this works correctly on CQG, so are these issues only with the SC Feed and Order Routing, and one needs to use CQG to use Trade/Quote symbol with QM and CL?

Yes that is true. The problem is TT uses the exchange native price formats and a price multiplier is needed in many cases to convert back to the native format for orders. We have started to implement a separate multiplier for the Trade Symbol but there are complications with this and it is not something we can complete the development of for some time. It is quite involved.
