I am using Trading: profit/loss text study.

The max open profit/loss, while in a trade, shows up as an extremely large number - approximately the value of the instrument I'm trading, times the number of contracts in the position.

I have reset the sim accounts, cleared trade data and have researched this on this forum. Am I missing something?

Trading ESM20_FUT_CME, 5 minute bars, use evening session, continuous contract enabled.
Trading: Profit/Loss Text on chart
I have the max profit/loss fields enabled.

I initiate a replay trade. Set on standard replay.

As soon as there is a fill the max open loss goes to: (approx. current price) * (-1)
If a position has multiple contracts the max open loss will be approx: (-n) * (price), where n is # of contracts.

Please advise if you need anything else.
