Here is a similar example of what has happened.  
Right now the screen show a lost of $25  
The same way it could have shown a profit of $25 or any other greater amount  
If you do not pay attention to the price, you may rush closing the trade for whatever you see.  
However, if I chose to close that trade right now just like I did for the lost that had appeared as a win, that will be a huge blow.  
This one would have been a big lost of $2000 instead of $25  
When I closed the trade that appears as a lost, the scren was green. I the prices on top was different from the one at the buttom. I closed it and it is only after I closed it, I realize the system has mislead me.  
I do not need to justify myself; it is already happen. However, It is a warning for any other traders as well and I will do my best to avoid such mistakes in the futures.

Click the “question mark” in the right-most price column to see an explanation that you are looking at the marked-to-market combined price of your entire position.

Thanks for the advise. I see what you mean and I will take action accordingly. However, can you still set up your own trade contract size?

Very impressive track record. The trades often last only minutes and occur at all hours of the day. What broker is the best to get timely trades?
