I dont know if it has already been mentioned it but every night the MC open P/L shown are wrong. In the screenshot you can see an example of 5 open positions where it tells me that I am in the negative.
MC keeps on showing me nagativ values - and that every night which isn’t very nice to look at ;-D
On the second screenshot you can see the real (and wright) open P/L from TWS.
I am aware that on the overnight position the spread (ask/bid) are very high and it might be difficult which one to take but isn’t there a possibility to take the value that is shown in the TWS – which comes very close to the real value.Overnight Open P/L wrong [SOLVED]

Re: Overnight Open P/L wrong
Should I change the default Unrealized Profit calculation from
By best Bid and best Ask
to
By last trade?
Would make sense...
Thank you Andrew. I will try it and see if it changes.
Do I have to reload MC to see the change? I will do it whenever I am flat again.

Re: Overnight Open P/L wrong [SOLVED]
Yes, Siscop. This is exactly what i was going to suggest:
- Change the PnL calculation method (by the way, it is calculated locally in MC, so the value in TWS may be different anyway),
- Close MC and all its products,
- Make sure all MC processes are shut down,
- Restart MC and see if it helped.
