Incorrect Account Data

[astrolobe]

Using beta 13, I am receiving historical forex data using the Gain connection (I believe the actual data is from the NT servers).
After an ATM trade has completed, my simulation account account is out by many magnitudes. This happens whether the trade was a profit or loss.

While the trade is in, the data in the positions tab is correct. It is only the account tab info that is way out after the trade completes.

Hello astrolobe,

Thank you for your post.

Can you please tell me if you can reproduce this for all instruments or does this only occur for a specific instrument.

Please let me know what instrument or instruments you see this issue with so I may attempt to reproduce on my end.



I look forward to assisting you further with this issue.

The last time this occurred was for the EUR/JPY. I will let you know if this happens with a different pair.

Can you tell me if you are using values such as 1, 2, etc. within the Qty Window or are you using a decimal for smaller lot orders such as 0.01M for 10,000.

I am using values of 1, 2, etc.
I understand that when using Gain in demo that you are dealing with standard lots, but if you want to use mini lots, then you need to set up a live account for that.

astrolobe, you can use whatever quantities you want with the demo and NinjaTrader's simulation accounts. So after a trade completes, is your account off by much more than you expected or much less? If it is off by much more, try using 0.1 and 0.01 and other similar quantities to get a more accurate representation of the trade's results.
