Profit & Loss display based on Bid/ask instead of Last
Does anyone know how to change the display of profit and loss based on bid/ask instead of the last traded price since this is going to be very annoying when scalping instruments like DAX when spreads quickly change from 0.5 to 1.0.
I've found the settings to change the display to ticks and currency values but its still basing those calculations on the last traded price instead of the actual bid/ask.
Help would be greatly appreciated

This spreadsheet study calculates 12 Profit/Loss data, 6 based on the Last price, and 6 based on the Bid (if long) and Ask (if short). These are the 12:
-Currency
-Points

There is a bug in the one linked in post #2.
This new version has the bug fix and an option to include the Daily Closed P/L with the Open P/L.
