Hi

When I trade with a live account will it change to GBP as I am from the UK or will it still trade using USD on the charts?


Thanks

It depends on the exchange and the product you are trading as to how that product is denominated. But refer to the following for how to set the common currency that you will view the P/L in:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Common Profit/Loss Currency (Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> General)

The S&P 500 from the CME Group is denominated in USD. So the general calculations are going to be in USD. But, as we stated, to see your P/L in a different currency, select the currency you want and you will see that in GBP. Refer to the following:

Is there a way where the currency price is also shown on the take profit and stop loss lines so I know how much they are?
