Post From: Currency conversion problems on the TAL

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.
You misunderstood what we meant. This has been resolved. Use version 1856. Also the only way now to display the common currency in the Trade Activity Log is by using the profit/loss format that says "Currency Value".

The other formats no longer support it even if they have currency value in their name, in the case of the Trade Activity Log. So the final result is a little different than what we stated in our prior post.

And we did discover a problem where there was a double currency conversion occurring in some cases like in the case where two formats are displayed at once. And that is been fixed.

The values shown on the chart trading widgets are all correct. As the calculation is done correctly in this instance I don't understand how your statement in post #9 can be valid.
There is a significant internal difference in the way that the common currency is implemented in a chart compared to the Trade Activity Log.

We will have to look at post #12 a little later on.
