In the tester, set the currency to CHF
Choose instruments, choose CHF/JPY

Automatically, USD/CHF, USD/JPY are added to the instrument list.

Why ? We want to trade on CHF/JPY, the account is in CHF, no other currency pair is needed ? I understand if we trade, for example EUR/USD, and the account is in CHF, we need also the USD/CHF pair to compute the exchange rate. But here I expect no other pair to be required, just like with an account in USD, trading EUR/USD, only one pair is required.

Bug or I just don't understand the feature...?

Hi,
it's because USD is our base currency. It is used to calculate our commissions, etc. If secondary currency in instrument is not USD, then it will be calculated using pair like "currency/USD". The same is for an account.

hello,
how do you calculate commission? is there any example? I don't find any function that retrieve the commission value for a specified order.
