I was testing my strategy live on Zorro paper account and i found some weird behavior where the Unrealized PnL of Zorro and TWS doesn't match. Here is what it looks like:
My AssetsList is copied from IB
Can someone explain why this is happening?

I believe ProfitOpen is sum of all trades and is not the same as unrealized pnl. Which is an account parametre and for example does not include forex, which are summed under "cash".

Well i dont use any variable to display the unrealized PnL on zorro, it use the default whatever it is when showing on the panel. So i dont know why the values on what zorro panel are showing and my TWS doesnt match

it is weird that TWS follows only the info display on its platform so in Zorro display a winning / losing value, it doesnt match to the changes in TWS and these difference is huge like 10x.

Is you account currency same in TWS and in Zorro? Do you not have any other positions in TWS? Do you see Zorro's trade immediately reflected in TWS with the same size, etc?
1. yes both on USD 2. yes I tested it with one position open observed 3. yes both TWS and Zorro update in real time simultaneously 4. values on TWS reflect the same where the Unrealized Profit is = Realized profit when closed
