Hi, I am encountering a strange behaviour since yesterday, where my DPL is counted 10x, double or only half depending on the chart book (I use 2 cbs). I trade MES March contracts in both via a IBKR connection. The DOM and chart are set to show ES. I followed the instruction in the How-To correct DPL mistakes, but everything is set correctly (and as it was set up last week) I read through this thread, but since my chartbook is rather complex, I want to avoid setting it all up again (DPL not correct) What I found out so far: - Simulation mode works just fine, counting correctly in both chartbooks. - Until yesterday evening one chartbook still worked while the other counted double, this morning one started to count only half. please see the attached screenshots, its a simple trade short 1 contract MES, 8 pts lower buy back. Yet, its counted as 4 points. I also included a screenshot of my chart trading settings. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-01-31 09:07:20

We are not understanding the issue. You state that the trade you made as for a profit of 4 points, which is what your Daily P/L is showing - 4 points profit. Is the issue just that one chartbook is displaying in Points and the other is in Currency or Ticks?

Hi, sorry, maybe lets just stick to one chartbook, since they both behave strangely it shouldnt make a difference. So in the mentioned chartbook I did one trade, which I am showing in the screenshot: sold: 1 x 4039.5 bought: 1 x 4031.5 result: +8 DPL What SC shows: +4 DPL In this chartbook the Profit/Loss format is set to Points (no other options, see new Screenshot) If its helps in any way: I did some more trades today and right now I cant seem to find any connection between my trades and my shown points. I am overall positive (which I also verified via the IBKR Acc statement), yet SC shows me a DPL of -23.25 O_o Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-01-31 15:47:49
