v 2060 (and 2057 before)...

The P/L becomes wrong if a "trade and Current Quote Symbol" is entered in the chart settings. It doesn't match either symbol. Also, if "Use only as trade symbol" is checked...it changes yet again. It doesn't match either symbol. I would think that if "trade and Current Quote Symbol" is entered and the box is "unchecked" that the P/L should be the Current Quote Symbol.

What profit/loss value are you referring to?

Make sure the Currency Value per Tick in Chart >> Chart Settings is set correctly.

Yes, I checked.

On the chart that has Main SYmbol as ES and "Trade and Current Symbol" as MES for instance,

I found the difference/issue It's the subtraction of the commission.

When using MES in the "Trade and Current Symbol", the profit per tic is calculated properly but it subtracts the ES commission versus the MES commission.

Can this be corrected?

Any thoughts concerning the commissions above?

We will implement a solution to this. We thought of a reasonable way to do this.
