Please see Attachment:
if i make trade on FTMIB futures, when i open report in Day Period Analysis i have P/L for the day = +434.50 €.
Now if i open the report that MF Global send to me, i have different P/L because it use SETTLEMENT price, this is different from the Multicharts report for the Day P/L.
There is a mode for insert Settlement price in Quotemanager or in Multicharts for hare the right P/L for the Day P/L?
Thanks a lot

Re: Settlement price
Dear Trader79,
We use the close price that we get from the data provider, just like all charting platforms do. Can I ask you what data provider are you using? Some data providers (i.e. eSignal) provide a close price which is not actually the close price, but a settlement price. If your data provider does not send settlement price as the close price, then there is no way to use the settlement price for calculations in MultiCharts.

Re: Settlement price
Dear Trader79,
I have discussed your question with the developers. There is no possibility to get settlement price in real-time in MultiCharts. Theoretically, this can be done, but it is unusual project and will require investment.
At the moment, when you reload the chart (Ctrl+R) you get the settlement price as close price from eSignal historical server.

Re: Settlement price
The settlement price is published a few minutes after the RTH close.
I know some traders set the session time to 16:20 (for ES),
MultiCharts will then be able to capture the settlement price and use it as the closing price for the day.
