can u tell me what is reason, that DOM does not show correct profit anymore as long as I have it set to "use evening session". only when I remove that it is correct. or lets say like this: I think it is 1 hour or so correct. then not. but I have the time set to NY time. so it should match with the session times. any hint what to look at?? can it be up to summer time?

OK, I can tell u what the problem was, it surprises me actually.

I had in the chart time zone NY, so US eastern. but in the Data Trade service it was set to Brussel. Now I changed that to NY too and now it is fine. Surprises me because I would have thought the setting in the chart should overrule the DTS.

Yes the Chart Time Zone setting should definitely apply to the trade statistics calculations within the chart and not be affected by the global time zone.

If the problem is what we think it is, it is resolved. Update to the latest release:

well it seems it is when the trading symbol differs from chart symbol.... my only explanation of what might be the reason. guess the chart time is linked to chart symbol. the trading symbol seems not to be so takes the DTS one.
will update. thx

No that is not correct. There is a problem with the trade statistics reset time when the chart is using a different time zone as compared to the global time zone in Sierra Chart.
