Post From: Currency conversion problems on the TAL

I'm not sure you do understand it. If you look at image "02.png" it shows the values in ticks only. These values are all wrong and is a result of the Common Profit Loss Currency being set to a value not equal to NONE and the symbol being quoted in JPY. This has nothing to do with the "Currency and Ticks" display options.

Note that when the symbol is quoted in USD the TAL shows the correct values in all cases even when using the "Currency and Ticks" display options! So it does work just not always - which suggests both a coding problem and a testing problem.

Note that I am also seeing inconsistent results between USDCAD and USDJPY

Below is a grid showing the very varied results I am seeing. Can you please review and confirm?

Common Profit Loss Currency = GBP
Symbol = USD quoted (eg EURUSD)
TAL P/L Format = ANY OPTION
RESULT = ALL VALUES CORRECT

Common Profit Loss Currency = GBP
Symbol = USDJPY or USDCAD
TAL P/L Format = "Currency"
RESULT = ALL VALUES CORRECT

Common Profit Loss Currency = GBP
Symbol = USDJPY
TAL P/L Format = Ticks, Points, or Currency & Ticks/Points
RESULT = ALL VALUES INCORRECT

Common Profit Loss Currency = GBP
Symbol = USDCAD
TAL P/L Format = Ticks or Points
RESULT = ALL VALUES CORRECT

Common Profit Loss Currency = GBP
Symbol = USDCAD
TAL P/L Format = Currency & Ticks/Points
RESULT = CURRENCY INCORRECT BUT TICKS/POINTS CORRECT
