PnL Currency

Postby franky » 20 May 2014

I would like to know if it is possible to convert the PnL in different currencies in Multicharts.Net ? For example, if trading Eurex instrument in a consolidated US account, being able to get the Position.OpenPL in eurex would be helpfull. Also, It would be interesting to get the live OpenPL either in ticks or currency. Is there anything possible or coming regarding that ?

Hello franky,

At the moment that is possible to select the currency for global currency conversion (values in the Order and Position tracker Accounts tab, Open Positions tab, Strategy Positions tab, PnL of the strategy values). You can do that in File -> Preferences -> Trading tab -> select the currency from the Preferred Currency list.

In MultiCharts 9.0 that will be possible to select the preferred currency for each individual strategy.

It will be very useful to set the currency for specific strategy. Would it be possible to make it programmable via the code for each instrument via the Iposition struct ? Also, could this struct add the element OpenPL in tick ?

franky, such functionality is not in our to-do list at the moment.

Interested readers might want to add their vote to these interesting feature requests from Franky, as discussed in this topic:

MC-1664 - Currency setting per workspace or per strategy or per instrument
MC-1665 - add IPosition.OpenPL in Tick instead of in Currency

Btw Franky, you can also vote for your own feature request in the Project Management page. ;]
