Hi ... I'm running a chart replay and am seeing two unusual things with my Trade Activity Log window that I'm hoping to understand: 1) What is the Cumulative Profit / Loss column? In the attached image (what_is_cumulative.png) you can see how when I scroll up to the very first trade, the Cumulative Profit / Loss seems to display the FlattoFlat Profit/Loss? This doesn't correspond with what I've read in the documentation on that column (and what would make intuitive sense ... a trade-by-trade running total). Why is this? In the edit menu, the only option I have checked is use LIFO matching. 2) In the second image (trade_ordering.png), you can see sometimes I appear to be getting orders out of order. Trade orders appear to be sorted by Entry DateTime but not always? |

1. This does not look correct. Disable LIFO and see if it resolves the problem. 2. The ordering is based upon the order in which the trades are occurring. If there is out of order timestamps, then this will show up in the log. See if disabling LIFO changes this. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
