Need help with Daily Net Profit Management

View Count: 101

I've been trying to set daily net profit trigger to flatten positions at given value but it always flattens too early.

Also I'm seeing inconsistent values. Why does the log say my profit was 121C when it was only 99C?

Maybe this is just some inaccuracy in chart replay?

The current net profit/loss is a summation of the Daily Net PL values from the Trade Statistics for Charts tab for the unique symbols for the trade account.:
Trade Activity Log: Trade Statistics for Charts (Chart Stats) Tab

The value of 121 is what you entered.

We do not know how you are coming to that conclusion, and it really is impossible from our perspective to be analyzing this and this is fully outside the scope of our support. Refer to:
Global Profit/Loss Management

One explanation is that once the order that closed the position filled, it filled at a price which gave a different profit/loss value based on it filling against the current bid or ask.

I'm coming to that conclusion because as you can see from my screenshot, the daily PNL is 99.
