Hello
I set Global PL to flatten with loss trigger value at -500$.
Opened position as the first trade during a day - chart with Dax "as the main" and mini-Dax as "Use as trade only symbol" checked.
Got flattened due to set Global PL but on the value of -$140.

Where should I look for to know why it happened.
Maybe it calculates Global PL only for Dax even if mini-Dax is set as Use as trade only symbol.

Please give me some guidance where should look for deeper.
Thank you.

You should read over the Introduction section here for information about this:
Global Profit/Loss Management: Introduction

Also check the Currency Value per Tick for the chart you are trading from:
Chart Settings: Currency Value Per Tick (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu)

- the most important thing to check there was if there were any trades before and it is ok as it was the first one during a day

Also check the Currency Value per Tick for the chart you are trading from:
Chart Settings: Currency Value Per Tick (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu)
- checked and for miniDax it is set to 5 so this is correctly

You can also have a look at the Trade Activity Log:

- checked and it was saying that it was flattened due to global net loss limit set

Where else should I look for this devil...

Copy and paste here that particular line in the Trade Activity Log so we can look it over and any other surrounding lines above and below that are related.

The -650, is based upon the the Daily Net Profit/Loss for all of the symbols being tracked as explained in the documentation.

From our position, we have no ability to know what the data that was used in that calculation. You have to look at it through the Trade Statistics for Charts tab at the time:
