Open position Profit/Loss is calculated by Patsystems broker and displayed in MultiCharts.

Unrealized Profit/Loss for the account is calculated by Patsystems broker and displayed in MultiCharts.

Account open Profit/Loss is calculated on the sum of open Profit/Loss for all positions on this account.

Stop-Limit orders: if the destination exchange supports stop-limit orders, the orders are sent from MultiCharts as stop-limit orders through Patsystems API successfully; if stop-limit type of orders is not supported by the exchange, the stop-limit is emulated; if it cannot be emulated, the order is rejected.

Patsystems does not support Native One-Cancels-Others group. In this case MultiCharts emulates OCO group on its end. Simulated OCO-group means that all OCO orders are sent to the broker, price is monitored by MultiCharts and once one of the orders is filled, other orders from this OCO group are cancelled by MultiCharts. When one of the OCO orders is filled, MultiCharts sends a command to cancel the second OCO order to broker. Note that the second order may also be filled if price reaches its level before the cancellation is processed by the broker (see OCO-Orders Risk).

Note: Patsystems Transaction Server may perform daily Forced Logout of your Patsystems API. As per API instructions, should the logout happen, shut down and restart MultiCharts and all related applications to re-establish connection to Patsystems.
