Issues with position limits and entry orders in the same direction

In thinkscript the entry price(s) is averaged with every new position in the same direction though in the strategy report it is itemized per transaction.
In the attached image the bubbles display on entry price change (including consecutive long or short) with the delta value of the fpl value from the prior value which is captured on every entry price change.

When the strategy is configured for more than 1 contract the calculated value of the fpl is only for a single contract as a 1/n of the total pnl but on the strategy report it is itemized and summed for all the contracts when the position closes.

Could someone help figure this out?

The example below is using a built- in strategy from thinkorswim but any strategy with consecutive entries will display the same issue.
