Any order with more than one target displays incorrect currency loss amounts. 15 MNQ contracts with at 15p loss should be $450 but shows as $150 until filled, Targets show the correct calculation Trade and current Quote Symbol: MNQ Use As Trade Only Symbol: Yes Currency Value Per Tick: 0.5 These are the only settings i have different than when chart is setup to trade NQ. Limit orders with only 1x target show the correct loss setting before being filled Any insight into this?

Adding to this, when adjusting target positions, overlaying it on another target does not add the total currency value together as it does when trading the main symbol. Granted this is conducted all in Sim

This may be relating to using Points Ignore Quantity. Just set the profit/loss format to Currency Value on its own. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

We looked at the topmost Attached Order here and the profit calculation is exactly correct: https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1721771560921.png Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Yes but that is only once the limit order fills. Before it fills, the calculation is not correct.

We checked the calculations for all of the unfilled limit and stop orders in that screenshot and they look correct. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

the unfilled stop loss is incorrectly calculated at $150 when it should be $450 1x MNQ Point = $2 x 15 MNQ = $30 per point x 15 Points = $450 SL It does not equal $150 Like wise the first target point is actually 2x of the 3 targets added together 1x MNQ Point = $2 x 5 MNQ = $10 per point x 10 Points = $100 Since there are 2x targets it should add up to $200 but it only shows $100 Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-08-21 21:11:01

There is definitively not an issue here. The calculations are correct. We will show how the stop order loss is calculated. There is a quantity of 15 for the Attached Stop order. The Currency Value Per Tick is .5. (19931-19946)/.25 * .5 * 15 = -450. the descriptions for each of the values above are: Stop price, position price, tick size, Currency Value Per Tick, order quantity This is exactly what the chart image above shows.
