Post From: Iconsistent behaviour with Reward Risk, Measure tool and chart trade currency values

I have come across inconsitent behaviour with regards to the Reward Risk tool, Measure tool and chart trade currency displayed values. The settings below describe my setup which to the best of my knowledge are correct for Lmax exchange

LMAX exchange
JPYUSD
currency value per tick = 1Yen (adjusted from Lmax documented setting of 10Yen)
tick size = 0.001 (Lmax documented setting)
position size = 100 (Lmax 10 contracts)
stop at -100ticks
Profit Loss Format = Currency Value (C) & ticks - ignore quantity

1)
Common Profit Loss Currency = NONE
Chart trade position stop shows currency =   -10000.00C   OK
Reward Risk tool shows currency =     10000.00  OK
Measure Tool shows currency (CV) =     -10    EXPECTED -10000

2)
Common Profit Loss Currency = USD
Chart trade position stop shows currency =   -88.31C   OK
Reward Risk tool shows currency =     10000.00  EXPECTED 88.31
Measure Tool shows currency (CV) =     -0.883USD  EXPECTED -88.31USD


Appears Reward Risk tool picks up the position size but doesn't do a currency conversion as per Common Profit Loss Currency setting

Appears Measure Tool doesn't pick up the position sizing but does do a currency conversion as per Common Profit Loss Currency setting


I would expect these to all show the same values and therefor Reward Risk and Measure tools should both adjust for position size and do a currency conversion. If I'm correct can these tools please be fixed so that they are consistent with the chart trade position size display? It is currently very confusing as is.

Many thanks
