MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Good day and thank you for taking time to assist.

Why does the Open Positions Open P/L report $7.40 while the Accounts Open P/L reports -34.80? Also, chart displays $7.40. There is only one active order in this account when confirming to the more accurate Oanda software. Why the difference?

In reality (comparing to the actual Oanda software the Open P/L should be -34.80.

Images are attached. I hope they will be of use to you. Let me know if you need anything else and I thank you again.

Hello John,

Account Open P/L value is returned by OANDA API, while Open P/L value is calculated by MultiCharts based on chart prices. It might be different from the value returned by OANDA for the account.

It s not that it might be different, it is different to the amount of an ~ 100,000 times difference. Regardless of the source, it should be accurate. Here is another example in my Strategy Position Tab there is a Open P/L of $6.30 and a Strategy Open P/L of $700,000. There is only one chart, one strategy and one position. Is there a better answer? I did update using the Oanda updater and there were no errors.

Please attach a screenshot of QuoteManager -> Edit symbol -> Settings tab for this symbol.

Attached. Since I am forex trading I use the FOREX settings options.

A note to others in this situation as it could be confusing. Even though you may be trading Forex, the Forex settings don't work, you must use custom settings.
