Hello, I'm having an odd glitch with my chart trader while paper trading and I'm nervous for this to happen while using real money. I use a simple ATM strategy with a stop and a target. What happens is when I enter a position, sometimes the displayed PnL changes during the trade as if I took an opposite position. For example, when going short I'll use a limit order to enter the trade, and lets say the trade goes in my favor. The PnL will start out displaying the proper profit value but all of a sudden switch to a negative value as if I took the long side and the trade did not go in my favor. The target and limit orders remain in the same place, I am not entering the wrong side by accident. The trades also usually seem to display properly in my trade performance window after the fact, but the problem is that when NT displays the incorrect PnL, I can't manage my trades properly. I can't move my stop to break even because I will get the notification that I can't move past the market price. Any clues how to fix this? Should I just repair NT? I feel like I do that a lot. It's not fun to lose a trade because of a glitch preventing me from managing the trade. Thank you in advance.
