I'm a newbie to NT and have a couple of questions re currency trading.
Where do I input leverage information? I see that if I open the Instrument Editor I can enter a margin value, but margin in forex is determined at the time I start a trade and will be lot size x no. of lots x base currency / leverage (1 minilot EURUSD @ 1.25 = 12500 / 50 leverage = 250, amount that I put on the table to start my trade). Where does all this information fit into NT?
2nd question. I see that PnL calculation is kept in the quote currency. No problem if the quote currency is USD. But if I trade USDJPY I get PnL calculated in JPY. If I run a backtest on a basket of currencies, the cumulative profit figure I get is a mix of different currencies. The only solution I see at the moment is to export each symbol result to Excel and then recalculate everything in a spreadsheet. Am I right?
Thanks for helping me!
