Hi! When looking trade activity log (trades tab), I see that commission for USDJPY (that is in USD) is deducted from P/L that should be in JPY. That makes commissions 100x lower... Am I missing something here? |

I am aware of that setting, I don't want to change P/L to any other currency, just think that by default commission should be expressed and calculated in the BASE currency, not in the QUOTED currency... For example, if my commission is 0,00002 x 100.000 USDJPY, total commission for this trade should be 4 USD (round turn commission), not 4 JPY. And P/L is of course in JPY... |

The commission will be in the quote currency which in this case is JP Y.

Ok... Thanks... Than I will have to recalculate commission for every forex pair cause IB is expressing comm. as a % of base currency...
