I recently updated to SC version 1697 but was forced to rollback to version 1689 when I encountered replay/backtesting problems; the replay would just freeze at random locations and pressing stop on the control panel would not do anything. The menus navigation were available but the backtest was frozen. Will wait to see if others report this issue before trying to update again.

Now with the roll-backed version 1689, the Backesting no longer freezes but the Trade activity log is in points instead of currency;
Currency is ticked in 1) Trade Activity Log 2) Chart >> Chart Settings >> Advanced Settings 3) Global Settings >> General Trade Settings - common currency chosen
To tried to fix this myself by deleting the Trade Activity Data file and restarted resulting in a new data file but no change after backtesting, still displayed in points
I deleted the config file and copied a recent older one from the backup folder but no change.

How can I get the Trade Activity log to display in currency?

Refer to:
Trade Activity Log: Profit/Loss (P/L) Format

Also make sure that you choose a specific symbol at the top of the Trade Activity Log instead of all symbols so that you know what you are looking at.

And refer to:
Profit/Loss Calculations and Symbol Settings

We are not aware of any problems with chart replay in the newer versions and it makes no sense why there would be an issue. We have no other reports of a problem either.
