When I go to the (paper) dashboard and look at my equity curve I see large jumps and a Todays profit loss that does not correspond to the other numbers. Also, the curve can be completely different from one hour to the next when I look at it during market hours.

This seems like a very serious issue but I hope that it is not. Any update on this is much appreciated. I have not yet gone live and this issue makes me hesitant to do so.
