Hello! I need some support. I have 2 computers with installed Sierra and IB. Both of them have similar Sierra settings (I just copied all needed settings files from one to another). I have a long position in IB and sometimes trade the same stock using Sierrachart and IB as a trade service. What do I have is seen on enclosed screenshots. On one PC Chart trader of SC after disabling Trading Simulation mode shows me all the position I have as well as total P/L (and this is terribly uncomfortable, because after buying more stocks it continues showing total P/L of all the position and not only P/L of last trade). At the same time, PC where to I copied SC from previous one (so, it is the latest one where I installed SC) doesn't show my total position, but only actual trade position and P/L. The question is - what am I missing in settings on the first PC? I checked settings of DOM, trading, connection, general settings and API settings in IB but they are absolutely similar... I just want Chart Trader only show my actual trades and don't show my overall position and P/L. Screenshots are made from 2 computers with Trading simulation mode disabled and IB connected as trade service Regards, Sergei |

It is a matter of what order fills are on the different computers. Since the new one does not have the history of the first one, it is not showing the same information. Refer to the following setting to control the date/time for the start of the order fills: Chart Settings: Order Fills Start Date-Time (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu) You can use the option above to establish a base from which both computers will have the same starting date/time for order fills. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
