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

1) From your documentation I can see that Reward/Risk tool shows the values in the quote currency of the pair only. If trading USDJPY for example the values are displayed as Yen. If trading EURCAD the values are displayed in Canadian dollars. This means I have no option but to manually convert with a calculator or in my head to my account currency which happens to be GBP. This is really frustrating and unhelpful and at the least there should be an an option in the tool settings to display the values in the Common Profit Loss Currency.

There is not an option for this, but this does already happen. There is a conversion to the common currency:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Common Profit/Loss Currency (Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> General)


2) The Chart Calculator tool appears to be a different issue where it assumes a contract size of 1
In the next release the Chart Calculator tool will now use the Chart Trade Quantity if the chart is in chart trade mode.
