Bug: Same symbol, same settings, different "Last day %" on two tabs — anyone else experiencing this on futures?

I've been dealing with an annoying data inconsistency on TradingView with CME futures and wanted to see if anyone else has run into this.

**The problem:**

When I open NQ1! (or even the specific contract NQM2026) on two separate chart tabs with completely identical settings, the "Last day" percentage change shown in the Data Window is different between the tabs. This means TradingView is using a different Previous Daily Close on each tab.

**What I've verified:**

- Both tabs use the exact same settings: 15min timeframe, Electronic Trading Hours (ETH), Back-Adjusted (B-ADJ), UTC-4 New York timezone

- The current candle's OHLCV data is identical on both tabs

- Only the "Last day" value differs

- I've tried refreshing both tabs, closing and reopening, removing all indicators — the issue persists

- Switching from NQ1! to the specific contract month NQM2026 does NOT fix it

- This does NOT happen on CFD instruments, only futures

**Why this matters:**

Any indicator that depends on the previous day's close will calculate completely different levels on each tab. I was getting inconsistent data and thought it was my indicator — turns out it's the underlying data itself.

In my case the implied previous daily close differed by about 133 points between tabs — that's a significant discrepancy.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a known fix or workaround beyond using multi-chart layouts within a single tab?

Auto Futures Risk Calculator for TradingView — Auto-detects tick values, draws trade levels, and calculates $ risk in real time

Hi r/TradingView,

I built a futures risk calculator that lives directly on your chart and handles the boring math for you. If you trade futures on TradingView, you know how annoying it is to look up tick values, convert ticks to dollars, and manually recalculate risk every time you adjust your stop. This indicator does it automatically.

What it does

  • Auto-detects tick values for 20+ popular futures symbols (MNQ, NQ, MES, ES, MYM, YM, M2K, RTY, GC, MGC, SI, SIL, CL, MCL, BTC, MBT, ETH, MET, 6A, M6A, 6N, 6J, 6B, M6B, 6E, M6E, 6C, 6S). No manual lookup.
  • Contract-based risk table — set your contract count and see exact $ risk for your position (auto-calculated from Entry → Stop distance) and any custom tick distance you want to test.
  • Click-to-place trade levels — click on the chart to set Entry, Target, and Stop prices. The indicator draws horizontal lines, labels them with price, direction (Long/Short), and your R:R ratio.
  • Optional P/L boxes — shaded green/red zones between Entry↔Target and Entry↔Stop for quick visual reference.
  • Stale-level warning — automatically detects when you switch symbols and reminds you to reset your levels so you don't trade off old prices.
  • Clean UI — dark-themed dynamic table with adjustable position, plus customizable line style and width.

How to use

  1. Add the indicator to your futures chart.
  2. Set your contract size in the inputs.
  3. Click "Entry Price", "Target Price", and "Stop Price" on the chart to place your levels.
  4. Read your $ risk directly from the table.
