HELLO,

SORRY GUYS I WASN'T CLEAR WITH MY QUESTION. I WANTED TO ASK IF YOU CAN WORK TO CONVERT JAPANESE YEN TO US DOLLARS IN THE TRADE STATS. IF ONE TRADES NIKKEI THE P&L IS LISTED IN YEN AND ALL THE CUMULATIVE CALCULATION IS WORTHLESS. NEED THE SAME CURRENCY TO USE IN TRADE STATISTICS. I BELIEVE ACCOUNT OVERVIEW FROM WITHIN CQG THEMSELVES ARE ALL IN USD, JUST SIERRA TRADE STATS IS LISTING THEM IN YEN.

THANKS

We do not understand what you are referring to.

Maybe you are referring to the Common Profit/Loss Currency:

For some reason it does not show up in dollars. I set everywhere to currency USD but my Nikkei in TRADES in trade activity window shows in YEN with attached usd after the number. Can you verify if it is possible to get even in usd when using CQG and not having Sierra Real Time subscription or whatever might be needed. I can't use any of the trade activity calculations because it makes no sense...

What is the specific symbol?

In the Global Settings >> Symbol Settings, how did you specify the Additional >> Currency for that symbol? It needs to be JPY in the Symbol Settings.

You do not want to use USD because you have to specify what is its own currency. Otherwise, the conversion can not possibly work because the currency is not even known. The documentation does make this clear.

F.US.MJNKZ17 is the symbol, everything looks as it was now, nothing converts ever in the trade activity log. Can somebody confirm it is possible to have nikkei mini shown in USD in trade activity log or anywhere else?

Follow the instructions here to update the Symbol Settings:
Global Symbol Settings: Update Global Symbol Settings

After this go to the Trade Activity Log and select Edit >> Refresh Log. See if the currency values are properly converted from JPY to USD.
