Hi,
Under ControlCenter->Strategies it is possible to watch the realized and unrealized P/L. For a currency future it works as expected, i.e. if '6E' moves one tick I see a P/L change of $12.5 (ticksize: 0.0001 poit value: 125000).
But it is different with currencies-pairs, to see a $10 change per tick for 'EURUSD' I need to apply a quantity number of 100000 for an entry order. For this pair the instrument manager's point value is set to 100000 too.
Does that make sense? I use the simulated package of NT.
Regards
Ralph
