TradeStation Portfolio Maestro

Currency

Portfolio Maestro users can convert any portfolio backtesting results into another currency denomination. This may be necessary because securities that are traded in a foreign denominated asset must be converted back into the currency in which the portfolio valuation takes place.  Examples would be US based traders trading in the Euro denominated Bund or European traders operating in NASDAQ stocks. 

Portfolio Maestro lets you set a portfolio currency for each portfolio. When backtesting is completed, the final performance report will be shown in the portfolio currency.

1. To change the current setting for a portfolio, click the Manage Portfolios icon from the Shortcut Bar.
2. Select the desired Portfolio Name from the Selections panel.  
3. Click the Portfolio Settings button. The Portfolio Settings dialog appears.
4. From the Currency tab, select the current currency type to use for the selected Portfolio.
5. Click OK when finished.

Note that when backtesting a portfolio, you can review the portfolio Currency (to the right of Initial Capital) on the Settings tab of the Backtest Portfolio dialog.
