  1. Hi, I trade a number of systems across several markets. I've created a workspace for each Market, and I've created a watchlist for each System. I want to add my open orders to the relevant watchlist. This is so that I can check and edit all open trades by system. Primarily I do this to adjust stops on open positions. For example, I have an open position with a US Stock XYZ, and I add that to the watchlist for System One. This is easy to do (right click, add to watch list) However, even though I have an open position in that stock, the watch list does not show XYZ as an open position, it just shows the basic ticker data (Open, Close, High Low etc) What I really want is the same display/capability that is shown in the Positions (and Working Orders) view, but only showing those orders that I've added to that system watch list so that I can manage open positions and working orders on a per market/system basis. Is this possible?
  2. Hi, When trading CFDs on an exchange outside my base currency (AUD), when I open a new share position (CFD), say in USD, my statement shows a line for the commission converted from US to AUD, but exchange rate for the capital component of the position entry. However when closing out the position, there will be a line for the conversion of the commission from US to AUD, and a line for the trade capital to be converted from US to AUD. How do I know my entry exchange rate for the position? I ask because I use portfolio tracking software which expects an entry exchange rate and an exit exchange rate for a position. Currently I am using the commission exchange rate as a proxy for the entry exchange rate, but I notice that on exit the commission and exit echange rates may be different (by enough that it makes a small difference to the exit figures). Essentially, my question is, how do I know what the entry exchange rate is?
