PnL update from IB is too slow  [SOLVED]

Postby hughesfleming » 04 Nov 2020

The PnL is not updating properly. I have to check the filled prices and the bid ask prices and then do it my head. It is very distracting that it does not work. This is MC14.

Is there any way to change how this is updated?

Kind regards,

Alex

Under Broker Profile Settings you have 3 options to calculate the profit:
- By Best Bid & Best Ask
- By Last Trade
- Get form IB TWS

Maybe you need to change your settings to another method.

Thanks SP, I had it set to Get from IB TWS. Switching it to best bid and and best ask seems to have fixed it.

Super!

Alex
