I'm just curious, do you think it is normal for NT to calculate pnl ONLY when there is last traded price comes in? or is it just me thinking that it's not supposed to be like that?

Let's think this way: with the ShowBidAsk indicator, if we can see graphically when the bid/ask change, it would help us a lot, let's say bid/ask spread is normally 1 tick, then suddenly the bid/ask spread change to 5 ticks, that would be disastrous to enter trade with that kind of spread because normally it is 1 tick spread, while the NT cannot calculate pnl based on b/a changes, then so the ShowBidAsk indicator cannot dispay b/a correctly.

For me this is critical feature for NT to have, And I think it is a bug in NT, correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for providing that info. We have this issue on our list.

for future NT features, i suggest to look at Openecry platform, they are very very nice in GUI and charting ability and customizing, unfortunately the platform cannot use IB.
