Demo trading - P&L

[5lim3r]

For what I am about to ask, please forgive the naivety. I'm new to this and am using NT for the first time since switching from TOS.

I have connected to the demo CQG data feed, opened up an ES chart and have submitted a simulated Buy Market order followed by a Sell Market order. This resulted in a 1 tick drop.

Each tick in the ES is $12.50 but my demo account balance went down by $75. I have no idea why. Each time I lose 1 tick, the account drops by $75.

Could you possibly shed some light on this and help a newbie out?

Thanks

Hello 5lim3r,

Could it be you submit orders with a quantity of 6? If this does not clarify the issue, please send me your log and trace files so I can investigate. Log and trace files can be found at the following locations. Right click the log and trace folder and select Send to-->Compressed (zipped) folder. Subsequently attach both .zip files in your email.

Windows start menu-->Documents-->NinjaTrader 8-->log

Windows start menu-->Documents-->NinjaTrader 8-->trace

You can send the files to platformsupport[at]ninjatrader[dot]com. Please put 'Att Jason, http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...d.php?t=102166' in the subject field of your email.

Hi Jason,

I am definitely only submitting orders of 1 lot.

Let me collate those files and send them over to you.

Thanks so much

Ok, logs sent. Hope they are of use.

FYI - I carried out a new trade today at 13:22, just in case it's useful to target that in the log files.
