PL in Forex Not Working

Hello,

I changed brokers to IB and have set up settings as outlined in the SC pages.

If I try to place any Forex SIM positions it does open the position but the PL never moves, it stays at zero.

Is there a setting I am lacking as to why it does not measure the PL?

SIM in futures does not have any problem.

Thanks

Thank you for your reply,

I ran and modified it as in the link you sent me, it now reads when there is an open position the points part but the PL for some reason does not adjust and stays with a reading of zero.

Any other adjustment I can try?

You need to trade a larger quantity than 1.
