P&L in TWS is unrealistic!!

Actually you might also stay with ib because:

- range of markets
- technology and 3rd party tools
- data supplied
- quality and speed of executions

as well as low cost.

Customer service, especially hand holding is never likely to be their big thing but I note that responses on their bulletin boards have just taken a big jump ... huge improvement.

You can always plot your own, if you can do some basic coding.
 
The P&L and realized P&L are wrongly calculated.

Scenario:
Trading SGXNK.
Sell 2 at 16730.
Buy 1 at 16750.

Numbers shown in TWS main window once I completed the trade:
P&L = -20000 [wrong]
Realized P&L = -20 [wrong]
Unrealized P&L = -10300 [correct]

The correct numbers should be:
P&L = -20300
Realized P&L = -10300
Unrealized P&L = -10300

Realized P&L is ridiculously calculated as -20. I get no clue what bug causes such a huge miscalculation. They should be fixed as soon as possible.
