MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Hi,
using IB and Portfolio Trader the Open P/L does not match and they are very far off.
VC and CMC are the stocks that are off. Does someone has an idea?

I think this difference can be caused when MultiCharts calculates the open P/L for one of these screens while retrieving the open P/L from the broker for the other screen. (That's my idea at least; I cannot find a source for that.)

If that's the case, then the wildly different results are probably due to incorrect QuoteManager settings. Particularly the big point value might be worth checking.

Hello siscop,

We are currently analyzing this case. I will get back to you with results.

Siscop,

The difference comes from different calculation methods used.
In Portfolio Real-time Auto Trading Open P/L is calculated based on the chart prices, i.e on last Close. While calculation of Open P/L in Order is Position tracker depends on the option selected in Broker Profiles -> Interactive Brokers -> Unrealized Profit Calculation Mode.
