I'm connected to the websocket feed and I store message updates to log Account Balances via dtc ( good stuff, thanks Sierra ). Issue I noticed is when a position is getting closed - it was about 18 contracts - about 12 updates were sent ( all in 1 second, since I flattened the position), each time with the CashBalance changing since the position was getting smaller, but the OpenPositionsProfitLoss field was stuck at the same amount until the entire position was closed. Since everything works perfectly with Sierra - I feel this is a bug that the OpenPositionsProfitLoss remains unchanched while the CashBalance is getting adjusted to reflect the decreased open position. Issue is I'm using CashBalance +OpenPositionsProfitLoss to calculate the "Net" Cash balance - but if OpenPositionsProfitLoss isn't changing when CashBalance is changing I get a bad reading. |

Yes this would make sense because this is updated independently on a timer: but the OpenPositionsProfitLoss field was stuck at the same amount until the entire position was closed.
It is not updated tick by tick or as the position changes. Due to the implementation of how this works it is not easily changed.
