Hi

From Trade Activity Log - Trade Statistics, the total profit/loss for closed trades, gross profit, gross loss etc are not calculating correctly because from Chart Setting - Advanced Setting 2, the default currency value per tick size is 0.005.

I have run back tested, i got the total profit/loss for closed trades showed 5.22 for 1044 ticks. May i know how much in reality i gains if actual 0.001 is referred to USD10 per tick. Then how do i set currency value correctly for 0.001 is USD10?

TQ.

You need to make sure that the Profit/Loss Format on the Trade Activity Log at the top is set to Currency Value.

You can set the Currency Value per Tick for the symbol in the Global Symbol Settings. Refer to:
