Hello,

Check Position value in the tradelist. If your position size is zero (or very small)
then the profit from such transaction would be zero (or very small).

If you still experience problems - please send TRADE LIST.
It can be obtained by clicking with right mouse button over result list
and selecting "COPY".
Then Edit->Paste to e-mail editor.


Best regards,
