Post From: Trade Activity Log Issue with P/L format

Hello, I think there may be a bug in the P/L format for EUR/USD on the trade activity log. I have been backtesting a strategy with the spreadsheet study (working on learning ACSIL still) and everything was working great and calculating correctly using USD/JPY in the trade log. I set the tick size to .001 with .09 tick value. In chart settings I have the profit/loss format set to currency and I had the same setting for P/L in the trade activity log. So I tried to test my same strat on EUR/USD and couldn't get the Trade Activity Log log to display P/L correctly (very tiny numbers). I discovered the .00005 tick suggested setting so I set that as the tick size and .5 as tick value. This did not help my P/L display correctly in the log, BUT when I changed the log P/L format to currency value AND ticks I got the right numbers. So maybe this is just a bug for this specific pair? I will test on some other pairs shortly. Is there any other funny behavior with specific currency pairs like this? I am primarily trading Forex at the moment. Also I just wanted to let you know that I love the the customizability and features of Sierra chart, keep up the good work! Thanks |
