Trading Performance Report

Postby datamonkey » 18 May 2017

On the trading performance report for my live account trading Nasdaq (NQ) that has $5 tick increments, the figures reported for wins/losses end in either $2 or $3 and not in $5 as expected.

How can this be when the market is $5 per 0.25 point move? Is it a broker thing or a setting in MC I'm not aware of?

Hello,

Please set the Commission and Slippage values in Strategy Properties to 0.
The first trade may not be a multiple of 5$ if the trades do not correspond to those in the Positions History tab of the Order and Position Tracker window. In this case MultiCharts generates a Position Matching order for the report (the Average Entry Price from Positions History tab is used), and if the position price wasn’t the multiple of 1 point, it's not possible to change that as such price may be received from the broker.

If this is not the case, then try to do the following:
• Check the order prices in the report. Are they the multiple of 1 point? If not, then please contact your broker: this can happen when orders get partially filled.
• Check the symbol settings in QuoteManager. Are the Price Scale / Min Move /Big Point Value values correct? If not, please configure the symbol correctly and remap it in Symbol Mapping (if this setting was not correct previously, only new orders would be properly displayed in the report).

Many thanks I must have changed the Strategy Properties value while fiddling with the settings and that's fixed it. Thank you! :wink:
