Position - Currency handling enhancement #10

Open vsr2158 opened 3 months ago

vsr2158 commented 3 months ago

Currently the Position shows column of Market Value and Total costs. It also does a grand total at the bottom row. However in a real account one could have positions in several currencies , hence showing the currency column + converting to USD and then doing grand total would make more sense in the future.

You are correct. Nothing about currencies is considered in summaries or reports currently (and all orders default to USD too unless doing forex/cash transactions).

Anywhere there's a sum of values, it's just a quick reference helper like adding a 'Total' row to a spreadsheet. Any final report sums may not be accurate if your account has multiple currencies or multiple sub-accounts, etc.
