    Does anyone now why there is a difference between latent gain in the PRT screen versus the p&L in the IG screen ?

    Both have the same entry point for the security.

    The Difference varies between 8 and 20 points in this case.

    See a screen shot of both screens taken at the exact same time

    Really curious to have an answer on this. It is strange and it seems the bigger the loss ( I assume gain) the bigger the difference.

    Which is correct, do you reckon? Or neither maybe??

    PRT based on mid price, whereas IG based on buy or sell price depending on if a Short or Long?

    Best way to get an answer from PRT is to use the Form below.

    Best way to get an answer from IG is to post on the correct IG Forum.

    Thanks Grahal, much appreciated.

    IG is closer to reality, both IG and PRT have the same price opening , even buy/sell/mid price would not explain such a difference. The spread on NAsdaq is 2 pts, so that would not explain such a difference like 50 pts in the last screenshot.

    I will pot on the other 2 links you ahve sent. First on PRT as IG community might not be knowledgeable of PRT I guess.

    Considering the difference, can PRT algo then make incorrect decision ?

    The IG Forum below does cover / includes posts about both PRT and IG Platforms.

    Worth a try. If you get any info, be sure to let us know please?

    I found below on the IG Forum mentioning Latent Gain, I know it’s not same Issue (as yours) but just to show that PRT Platform is discussed etc.
