Don't use default currency off my PC regional settings

[michelle99]

Hello,

The contracts I trade are in USD and EUR, my reginal currency on my PC is set to ZAR.

Q1. Is there a way to get the P&L to display in EUR (always).

Q2. For the trades I take in USD, can the P&L convert those to EUR?

Thanks,
Michelle

Hi Eric - I've changed my regional settings to Euros now. When I trade the YM the contract is in dollars. If I make a profit of 100USD the PnL reflects 100EUR - - is there a way to fix this so that in the least the P&L converts my USD profits to euros ?

Thanks for your reply,

Yes, this is possible. You will need to change your individual settings for instruments you wish to convert. Change the Currency to Euros and the Point Value to reflect the current conversion rate.

To do this, from the Control Center, select Tools > Instrument Manager. Select the instrument you wish to change under ‘Available master instruments’ and press ‘Edit.’

The YM currently represents $5 per tick, but this will not adjust for changes in the conversions rates, therefore your displayed PnL could be approximate.

Let me know if I can help further.

I'm afraid I am still not seeing my locale currency in the Control Center. Please see the attached screenshot.

1. My locale is set in EUROs
2. An instrument I am trading, the FDAX, is set to euros
3. In the Control Center I see dollars

How do I set my Control Center currency to EUROs??

Thanks,
Michelle

While changing these setting will allow you to view the PnL in the SuperDOM and Chart Trader in Euros, it is currently not possible to view the control center itself in Euros.

Let me know if I can assist further.
