Make Long/Short Position Tools Cross-Trading Aware (ATAS X)

When Cross-Trading is enabled, the Long Position and Short Position tools should calculate TP and SL P&L based on the instrument actually being traded.

Right now, when Cross-Trading is turned on and I am effectively trading micros instead of minis, the Long/Short Position tools still show TP and SL profit/loss as if the trade were placed on the mini contract.

Example:

  • If I am charting NQ but Cross-Trading is enabled to trade MNQ, the Long/Short Position tool still appears to calculate the potential TP/SL P&L using NQ tick value instead of MNQ tick value.

  • This can make the displayed risk/reward and dollar P&L misleading.

Suggested improvement:

  • When Cross-Trading is enabled, the Long Position and Short Position tools should detect the active traded instrument and calculate P&L using that instrument’s tick value, point value, and contract size.

  • This would make the tool much more accurate for traders who chart minis but execute micros through Cross-Trading.
