A fixed sterling profit on EUR/GBP can have a changing dollar value. Separate trade P/L from account-currency conversion, reconcile an apparent contradiction, and check why a take-profit price does not necessarily lock in a dollar amount.

One daily EUR/USD candle can rise while another falls without either feed being wrong. Rebuild both bars from the same timestamped quotes, separate display time from candle boundaries, and check daylight saving and completed bars before comparing signals.
