Hi, I need to backtest USD/CAD forex. I need to see the PnL of each trade in currency USD on the attached trading window and in the trade activity logs. I followed all the steps mentioned in this link for Forex: Global Trade Settings Windows: Common Profit/Loss Currency (Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> General) I already set the PnL as currency in the chart settings. I still cannot see the currency PnL, it just just shows 0 both in the window and the trade activity logs. How to see the profit or loss as a currency? Thanks. |

I attached what I see when one trade is in process using the replay feature. On the attached trade window you can see that the P/L is 0, even though the trade is up a lot. The trade activity log also shows a backtest trade I did prior to this current one. That backtest trade I already closed it, but the P/L is zero, which is not correct. |

The problem is you are trading too small an order quantity.
