==Currency Conversion==
Currency Conversion functionality is used for converting the price values when Base/Preferred Currency is different from symbol currency in QuoteManager. Since MultiCharts 10 Release 3 it’s possible to select an alternative currency conversion server.
The Currency Conversion settings are accessible from File -> Preferences -> Currency Conversion tab.
For Currency Conversion the following parameters are available:
* '''Currency request timeout'''. This parameter allows specifying the time value for accessing the Currency Conversion Server. The value should be between 30 and 120 seconds.
* '''“Allow calculation if Currency Conversion data is incomplete”'''. If checked helps to retain auto-trading and calculate the signals with previous currency conversion data in case Currency Conversion server cannot be accessed.
* '''Data source'''. This function allows selecting currency conversion server. Only several data feeds can be used efficiently for currency conversion (IB, LMAX, MCFX) because they provide continuous Day Bid Forex historical data.
To use alternative currency conversion sources IB, LMAX and MCFX it’s required to have a subscription with the selected data vendor.
If no alternative data feed is used, the Default currency conversion server can be chosen. It provides data for currency conversion since 2002.
<div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;"><u>'''NOTE'''</u>: MultiCharts needs to be restarted completely in order to apply any changes made for the Currency Conversion Server.</div>
===Possible issues:===
The message “Cannot access Currency Conversion server. Calculation will be stopped” is displayed in case the Currency Conversion Server cannot be accessed within the specified timeout. This message indicates that the signal calculation will stop as there is no data for conversion. Therefore, the signal will be turned off and auto-trading will be disabled. To avoid this check the box '''“Allow calculation if Currency Conversion data is incomplete”'''.
