After numerous searches and reading through all the support articles I cannot fix this.

My DPL is inaccurate. It shows a greater value than what it should be. In my trade activity log reflecting my Amp Futures routed trades everything is correct.

What setting could be causing this?

I've included screenshots. The DPL on the day should show -0.75 when it shows -1.50.

Yes, As I pointed out in my original post, I have spent over an hour going through that exact article with no results.

Is there anything you can provide me with to at least point me in a better direction?

Where is the display for the P/L and the Daily P/L coming from? Is that a Control Bar or some other source?

Yes, the control bar. The trade window that is attached to the chart also shows the same incorrect DPL of -1.50.
The symbol settings under Global Settings -> Symbol Settings for MES?## are correct.
My Start Time for Trades List is set to 0.
My Trade Activity Log is showing all transactions with no orders missing.

In looking deeper into this everything is correct.

Your trade was the following:
- Entry Price: 5428.25
- Exit Price: 5427.50
- Quantity: 2

So the number of Points lost is -1.50. Hence the DPL is correct as it is set to display in Points (which includes the quantity).

The MES Currency Value per Tick is 1.25. A loss of -1.50 has 6 ticks in it, so 6 * 1.25 = 7.50. Which is the currency value that is shown in the Trade Activity Log.

You are correct.

It was originally showing -3.00. After going through all the settings it seems to have been corrected.

Sorry for the confusion.
