Every Money Figure in Your Dashboard Names Its Currency

Say you run three accounts: a dollar account at one broker, a euro account at another, and a cent account for testing a new channel. One dashboard has to show all three kinds of money without blurring them together.

Every money figure in the TTMT dashboard carries the currency of the account it belongs to. Totals never add two currencies at face value. An amount that cannot be converted is left out of a total and listed next to it. And the statistics are computed over your whole trade history.

Here is how each of those works.

The currency belongs to the row

The Activity Feed shows trades from more than one account on purpose, so there is no single "page currency" it could use. Each row carries the currency of the account that trade was placed on.

The same rule holds across the trade log, trade detail, the position log, the performance pages, risk limits, and the thresholds in settings: every figure shows the currency of the account it belongs to. Search across all your accounts and a euro trade stays in euros while the dollar trade under it stays in dollars.

Trade explanations quote amounts in the currency of the account the trade was placed on. A disconnected account keeps its own page, with read-only logs in that account's currency.

Cent accounts read as cent accounts

A cent account is denominated in hundredths of a currency. Its balance is counted in US cents (USC) or pence (GBC), so 500 on that account is five dollars or five pounds. Put a dollar sign in front of that 500 and it reads a hundred times too large.

The dashboard prints a cent figure with its code: USC 500. I chose the code over the ¢ sign because ¢ means a hundredth of a US dollar, and it would be wrong on a GBC account.

Where the dashboard does not know which currency a figure is in, it shows the number with no symbol. A missing label is honest. A guessed dollar sign on a cent account is a hundred times wrong and looks perfectly confident about it.

Totals only add what can be added

The day headers in the trade log add up the trades closed that day. When every trade is in one currency, you get that sum in that currency.

When a day spans accounts in different currencies, each part is converted into your display currency and netted, but only if every part converts. If one does not, the header lists the parts side by side, each in its own currency, for example +$10.00 · +JPY 500, in a neutral color instead of profit green or loss red.

The performance pages convert their figures into your display currency and label them with it. The balance reconciliation there stays per account: each account is reconciled in its own currency, with no blended total across accounts.

Amounts with no exchange rate are left out, and listed

A converted total needs an exchange rate for every amount in it. When an amount has no rate, the dashboard leaves it out of the converted figures and tells you so in a line under them:

Not included in these figures (no exchange rate): USC 500 (3 trades)

That example is made up, but the shape is the real one: the amount in its own currency, and how many trades it covers. Averages are taken over the converted trades only, so a missing rate cannot drag an average toward zero.

If the rates cannot be read at all, the page shows an error. It does not show a P&L of zero.

Statistics that read your whole history

The dashboard's statistics read your complete trade history, a thousand trades at a time, until there is nothing left to read. Win rate, total P&L (profit and loss), and the per-channel figures are built on every closed trade you have, not on the most recent slice of them.

A trade counts as a win when it closed with a profit in its own account's currency.

There is a ceiling on how far a single read will go. If a figure is ever built on part of your history, it carries the caption "based on part of your trade history", so a partial number cannot pass as a complete one.

Sizing and limits follow the same currencies

Display is half of it. The engine that sizes your trades works in your account currency too.

Sizing a trade by a percentage of balance, or by a cash amount, needs the rate between the symbol's profit currency and your account currency. When your terminal's live quote for that rate is missing, the conversion resolves from the platform's own rate store, and the trade sizes the way you set it.

On cent accounts trading gold, a broker can report a much smaller contract size than the standard one. On cloud accounts, the broker's own tick value now settles that conflict, so percentage sizing reads the risk correctly. That applies to cloud accounts today. On self-hosted cent accounts it does not yet, and I would sooner say so than let you find out.

When a daily loss limit pauses trading, the message shows what you have booked and what is floating, in your account currency, adding up to the total on the pause banner.
