IIP3 of Gilbert cell mixer

Hi

I'm learning Hb analysis for the IIP3 simulation of a gilbert mixer. My f_RF=5GHz, f_LO=4GHz and f_IF=1GHz . I'm a bit confused about setting the 1st order and 3rd order harmonic at the Direct plot form. I have set 1st order harmonic = 1GHz and 3rd order harminic = 2*f_LO-f_RF = 3GHz and it gives me the following results.

This is my 1dB compression point result

Direct plot window

Please let me know if my harmonic selection is correct and whether I'm getting a correct IIP3 and P1db curve
