Use last price for PNL

[SMuhr]

Good morning,

In Tools --> Options, I have a checkbox : Use last price for PNL.

If I do not check it, which price will be used ?

Regards,
Steven

Hello SMuhr,

Thank you for your post.

When this option is unchecked when in a Long position the PnL will be calculated based off of the current Bid and when Short it will be based off the current Ask.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

So if it is more relevant when the checkbox is unchecked if I want to simulate real market condition ?

Thanks

Correct if you would like to see where the PnL is in relationship of where you could hit the bid or lift the offer while in a position I would leave this option unchecked.
