I have my value per tick for NQ at $5, but its seems to not be adding up properly on the trade window. its seems to be confusing points with ticks. 35 pts profits and its calculating it as if it was 35 ticks with only 175$ and im not on micros, both symbol and trade current symbol are on NQ |

Your "Tick Size" is set to "1.00", so points and ticks are the same thing. This is where the problem is. Is there a reason you have the tick size set to 1.0? For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

yes- i compress the NQ to 1.00 due to its volatily on the domS. Is there a way around this? a way to accurately see daily the real P/L?

The above is one option, but if you are wanting to compress/consolidate the Market Depth data, then set your Tick Size back to 0.25 and use the following setting: Chart Settings: Market Depth Combine Increment in Ticks (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Market Depth menu) You can also have the "Combine Increment in Ticks" apply to the "Recent Bid/Ask" if you are using those columns. Refer to the following setting for this: Chart Settings: Apply Combine Increment in Ticks to Other Market Data Columns (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Market Depth menu) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
