Common P/L currency

Hi,

I trade nearly exclusively US stocks but have my base account currency in EUR. So it would be nice to see my running P/Ls and also the P/L in the trade activity logs in EUR.

Now while I read this https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/GlobalTradeSettings.html#CommonPLCurrency I have yet to ask if this is really the last truth that I would have to go through all possible combinations in Symbol settings - my trading landscape are essentially all existing stocks - set there manually a currency of USD and then set the common P/L currency to EUR?
I hope this is not the truth.

Because if I just set the common P/L currency to EUR I get USD values in trade activity log, but with EUR standing next to it. The values stay USD.

I hope there is any other solution to this.

Thanks

We will set up the currency code for these symbols and we will look into why you are seeing EUR when there was no currency conversion.
