Symbol Unusual PnL
General Information
The Symbol Unusual PnL trigger detects abnormal profit and loss (PnL) fluctuations for specific trading symbols. It calculates a 60-day historical average PnL for each symbol and compares it to the current session's PnL. If the actual PnL exceeds the historical average by a user-defined threshold, a notification is sent to the dealer.

| Processing Mode | Users have the option to choose whether a triggered event requires manual confirmation (by clicking the "Accept" button, mode Manual) or is purely informational (mode Auto). This enhancement reduces routine actions and allows users to focus exclusively on critical events without the distraction of constantly clicking through informational notifications. You can still view automatically processed notifications on the Risk Management page by enabling the Only auto toggle, or in the top header by activating the Show automatic notifications toggle. |
