Re: Currency Conversion Feature - Calculation is incorrect [SOLVED]
Yes the intraday calculations that JoshM has brought attention to would not be 100% accurate but they would be extremely close and pretty accurate for testing purposes, as furytrader points out it shouldnt be an issue and a reval each day is more than sufficient. ANYTHING would be better than what w...

Re: Limit Orders with incorrect fills [SOLVED]
I agree entirely that this issue needs sorting out. To have a limit order fill at a better rate in a backtest is entirely counter productive.... This doesnt often happen in the real world so it shouldn't ever happen in testing software.... I was shocked to see a strategy I have written being filled ...

Re: Memory leak
Henry I have had this issue a few times this week too... Please see attached screenshot. This is on the 9.0 beta I have been able to replicate the issue a few times by loading a chart with a strategy already in the template..... While the chart is still backfilling, select format instruments and cha...

Re: Currency Conversion Feature - Calculation is incorrect [SOLVED]
Here is my current workaround: 1) set the portfolio currency to none. 2) created a new exchange, add another set of FX pairs and re imported the data. I set the name with a suffix and its no longer detected as a currency pair. For JPY pair, you can change the BigPointValue. Not accurate backtesting...

Re: Currency Conversion Feature - Calculation is incorrect [SOLVED]
Then you're shocked easily, perhaps too shocked to notice that there are two subjects discussed in this thread: how MultiCharts calculates currency conversions and how it should be done.... I think that understanding the first makes a convincing case for the second easier, hence my suggestion to ch...

Re: Currency Conversion Feature - Calculation is incorrect [SOLVED]
Hi guys, Alphacat has it right.... Im a little shocked at how people cannot see this was wrong, when a profit becomes a huge loss or a scratched trade is a huge loss because my home currency happens to be different to the instruments? This is nothing to do with margin settings, it is just the total ...

Re: Currency Conversion Feature - Calculation is incorrect [SOLVED]
You can see your current PnL (on a chart, in a DOM window, in Order and Position tracker window) in preferred currency by selecting the desired currency in MultiCharts->File->Preferences->Trading->Preferred currency dropdown menu. I didnt mean for live trading, purely for backtesting purposes / sin...

Re: Currency Conversion Feature - Calculation is incorrect [SOLVED]
Isn't the point of this feature so that we can see our p&l in a currency of our choosing instead of the default of the instrument?
If I buy ES today at 1900 and sell it next week at 1900 I have made 0? Do you agree to this?
It doesnt matter where I am in the world or what my home currency is.

Re: Currency Conversion Feature - Calculation is incorrect [SOLVED]
Hi Henry.... Funnily enough I just called to see if I could talk to yourself but they said you were busy. How can a $75.30 loss ever be shown as a £165.02 profit? It really troubles me that you guys can believe the calculation you are using to get that figure is correct. In the last 10 years with gb...

Currency Conversion Feature - Calculation is incorrect [SOLVED]
Hi all, Had a couple of lengthy chats with Multicharts support about this but noone can seem to understand that there is a problem. The new feature to convert to any currency is something I have been looking forward to, unfortunately when I looked at the conversion on trades I could see that the rev...

Dynamic Currency Conversion for Backtesting
Hi everyone, first post here... Been seriously looking forward to this feature to test a basket of fx pairs. However when I try and do this I get the following error shown on the attachment " The currency for the <pair> @ FX instrument is not set. To set the currency, please go to..... I have tried ...
