If I trade the FDax Futures, is the profit and loss on the Dom and in the Control centre displayed as Euros or in U.S Dollars? Does Ninja Trader convert it to U.S Dollars once the trade is exited?

Thanks

Trad3r, the DOM PnL would be displayed in Euros - it's not converted back, but displayed in the Account Performance section acoording to your regional currency settings.

Thanks, so if I understand this correctly: The dom is displayed in euros but in account performance if I have U.S regional settings the currency will be displayed in U.S $ but does Ninja Trader convert the euros from the dom into U.S currency? Example 100 euros on the dom , will that be dispayed as $100 in account performance ? or $150 if the exchange rate is 1.5 U.S to 1 euro

Correct, it would not convert - if you scalped 2 pts with 1 contract the DOM shows you 50 Euro PnL (as the instrument is setup with this base currency), however the Account Performance section would show 50$ then for this trade (as the reporting here is tied to regional settings).
