This actually was really simple, and it's done now. Try it.

Are the QuickStats working? Evolution X reports 20K balance on my browser, yet the account shows 25K. The Float is OK (as in it's good, not reading zero K). Same problem on some other EA's.

Quick Stats update every 15 minutes on the hour, 15 min, 30 min, and 45 min mark of the clock. You can see the last update time at the bottom of the list. Therefore, there will be a 1 to 15 minute lag at all times. Look at the "Last updated" time to see where you stand.

The robots also upload statements every 15 minutes. In some cases a robot may fail to upload a statement for whatever reason. However, I have a system in place that pages me if a robot fails to upload a statement after 45 minutes which indicates MetaTrader has crashed. So far I have not had any crashes for the past few weeks.

Cheers PipCop,

I think I see what the issue is. I hadn't realised that the first figure we see is the "Current Account Balance - Initial Investment". Perhaps the tooltip should show "Profit/Loss or P/L

" instead of "Bal" ?
