unit of commission

[jakjak74]

Hi when we trade FX for example AUDJPY, is the unit of the commission always in USD?
Basically I want to add a conservative bid-offer penalty on top of the usual commission and am wondering if I need to transform that spread (from JPY to USD)?
Thanks for your help

These values are in USD.

However, you'll need to have the AUDUSD data coming into the platform to get a PnL in dollars. You can load this data in any window. We demonstrate this in our forex webinar by loading a Market Analyzer window with the USD and the base currency of a cross (non-USD pair).

Here is that webinar for reference. This topic specifically is discussed about 30 minute in:
