NT8b10 Strategy Performance/Analyzer currency mixing

[gregid]

If you have on your PC set up local currency to something other than USD than both Strategy Performance and Strategy Analyzer will present the information in a very inconsistent manner here (zl on the chart and $ in the table):


I think the use of local currency is erroneous here

Hello,

I have reported this to our development team and I will follow up as soon as I gather additional information.

Just letting you know this is still not fixed in RC2

[gregid]

Or rather it is partially fixed - values displayed on the charts and tables are correct.
Where it is incorrect is in the top left dropdown box:
Summary (wrong currency)
Analysis (wrong currency)
...

[NinjaTrader_ChristopherJ]

Can you tell me what currency is listed in the drop down menu for Summary and Analysis.

[gregid]

It's the same as on the screenshot in the first post (zl) - which is locally used currency for me. I recall reading in some previous release notes that the issue has been fixed but only now I've noticed where the fix was overlooked.

If your local PC clock is set to zl this would also be displayed as zl in the drop down as seen in your screen shot. Is there another area that is not showing zl as expected?

[gregid]

I'm afraid you are wrong. Local currency has nothing to do with a currency of a brokerage account and all other details are correctly presented in correct currency (USD) in this case.
You can't argue that displaying eg. "Summary (Yen)" with the rest of result in USD is logical and correct behaviour here. If you can't get right currency from MasterInstrument.Currency to display it in the box then the displayed text should be simply "Summary (Currency)" or "Summary (cur)"
To emphasize again: local pc currency should not be used in Strategy Performance at all.

I have forwarded this to our development team for review and will follow up once I gather additional information.
