"OpenP/L" on Order and Position Tracker and IB TWS

Postby lstman » 11 Nov 2013

Hi

My exit rule uses "OpenP/L" on Order and Position Tracker.
But, I sometimes found different P/L between "Order and Position Tracker" and the IB TWS.

Is it possible to match the P/L data in "Order and Position Tracker" and TWS?

Please advise me.

Hello lstman,

TWS calculates the PnL by last trade.
In MultiCharts the default PnL calculation mode for IB broker profile is by best bid and best ask.
Please go to MultiCharts->File->Broker profiles->Manage->IB->Edit->change the “Unrealized profit calculation mode” to “By last trade”.

After that is done-restart MultiCharts and all of its processes to apply the changes.
