Hi again folks,
Now I dont know what is happening here, but you need to see the pics to see whats fully up here as I may not be describing this perfectly.
I am running NTb20, in Sim, using IB for my broker data and the issue is a currency trade (forex) AUDUSD but the problem I believe happens also on other instruments as well.
Problem is:
The AUDUSD moves are in $10 increments for trading 100,000 (0.1M)
I entered a short @ 0.9196 so normally if a fall to 0.9195 would be = $10 which should show up in the PnL, but it does not as can be seen in the pics provided.
I thought it was only a $10 issue not being in sync, but this is not the case whether it goes up or down, the price can be as much as $20 out of wack. It is like there is a LAG or something and if there is a run which ever way, the price could go up to 0.9198 and then leave the PnL showing -$40.00 which is plain Wrong.
The other thing adding to this problem is that by executing the trade, the Wrong Price gets added to the Account Perfromance, meaning you do the trade to say take the profit which should be $30 dollars say, but the slippage will take $10 which should leave you with $20.00 profit to show up in the Account Performance, but this Does Not.
It only shows up as $10.00 there.
This is turning into a fully blown pain and I just cannot see myself trading this way.
Is this a bug or something I need to change but I am using the default Use Instrument Settings from the Data Series >> Session Template
Can anybody please advise??
