[Locked] - Incorrect DPL

Hi,

For some reason yesterday the DPL was reading much higher points than what I actually achieved on both NQ and ES trades.
Trade account monitor is reading the correct amount of profit.
Trade activity log is showing the higher incorrect values therefore throwing out my trade statistics.

How would I go about correcting this so that my statistics show what was actually traded?

Thank you

Trade activity log shows -$13000 for the day when I have no placed a order. This has happened for the last 3 days and prior to this it had not happened before.

I am using SC 2409

Once again go through the information/instructions here:

We cannot know what the problem is from our perspective. The documentation is very thorough on this subject.

I have read the document and followed the instructions.

Nowhere in your very thorough document does it say how to to fix DPL with random values that are created daily without a trade being placed.

I cannot even see where I could manually delete these values that are randomly appearing.

Order fills start time and start time trades list is the default 00:00:00

I honestly do not know what has caused this as the only thing I have changed it the SC update which I do weekly.

I have. The reason why I respond back here is because the articles you are providing are not solving the problem.

I am not ignoring the articles you place here.

Sometimes things require more work than a copy to a article.

From step 3 that we linked to previously:
Set the Order Fills Start Date-Time in Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading for the chart to the Date-Time, in the time zone of the chart, of the first order fill which is part of the current trading day.

If you have no current Trade Position for the Symbol and Trade Account of the chart, then set these Date and Time settings to the current Date-Time.

I just had this same problem and have not been able to fix it. I am thinking it is taking data from the previous chart since we just had a rollover.
