Hello I am in Trade Simulation Mode and I am trying to track the Total P&L for 3 trades I have open with three different instruments. However for some reason the Total Profit for all open positions is consistently incorrect. The total consisently show a profit when they should be showing a loss (see attached screenshot) and I have no idea why this is happening and how to fix it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

We are looking this over to see why there could be this discrepancy. We do see one minor reason why and correcting it.

It has to do with how the Open PL is calculated. Whether it is based upon the last trade price or the bid price or the ask price. There is an inconsistency with how this is done with the Total as compared with the individual values.
