Contrl Center, Trades Tab, Incorrect Data

[MacAttack]

Hi. My entries/exits from earlier today appear to be correct on my CL chart, but the entries/exits are incorrect in the Control Center on the "Trades" tab.

For instance my last trade of the day was a short at 97.11 & buy-to-cover at 97. Looks good on the chart, but in Control Center it says short at 97.11 & buy-to-cover at 95.85.

How do I fix the data? Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Are you certain that you've matched the correct two trades? In this instance, I'd start by double-checking the time of the execution on the chart and the one you're using as a reference in the Orders tab of the Control Center. Additionally, make sure that the order's state column reports that the order was filled and not canceled.

[MacAttack]

Yes, it all matches up.

The final trade says filled at 95.85. Price was around 97 at that time.

I also had a long earlier in the day which is completely missing from the "trade" tab, yet it shows up on my chart

(The "Orders" tab looks correct in control center; the "Trades" tab is incorrect)

Here are the jpeg's.

See the very last trade for the most obvious error..........chart is correct, trades-tab is incorrect.

There should be nothing taking place at 95.85.

Hello,

Unfortunately, I'm having trouble finding what you're trying to point out to me. I need you to mark the execution in the chart and the trade in the grid which you're trying to point me towards.

[MacAttack]

The trade in the grid is the one on the very top of the attachment. It says I exited at 95.85 at 11:25:59AM.

I can't mark that trade on the chart because it doesn't exist. Price was up near 97 at that time.

You can see my very last trade of the day marked by the little blue arrow. I covered a short at 96.99.

Here's a new chart.

Hello MacAttack,

Thank you for getting back to me.

Please open the Instrument Manager by clicking Tools > Instrument Manager. In the Manager, select CL from the list on the right then click Edit to open the Instrument Editor.
In the Editor, navigate to the Misc tab and scroll down to the Contract Months section - select that property then click the '...' button which appears.
In the Contract Months menu, select 07-13 - which rollover date is listed?

[MacAttack]

It says:
Contract Month: 07-13
Rollover Date: 05/17/2013
Offset: 0.3

Hello,

Could you please check the 'Group Trades by ATM Strategy' box in the Account Performance tab of the Control Center and re-run the performance report?

[MacAttack]

That got rid of the weird stuff.
Can you tell me why?
Thanks.

Hi,

I'm happy to hear that did the trick.

When this option is selected, trades are reported based on ATM Strategies. For example, if you have an ATM Strategy that had multiple entries and exits, all executions are grouped and reported as one trade record under the Trades tab with single average entry and exit prices.

[MacAttack]

But that doesn't explain why there are incorrect trades when I don't check that box.

Look at the 2 attachments.

When I don't check the ATM box there is a trade I highlighted at 7:47 for a loss of 82 ticks. That trade isn't real.

When I "do" check the ATM box that trade disappears.
