Is there any way to determine PnL on a trade taken that is not the base currency of the account?

As an example, my account base currency is USD

If I take a position in EURGBP, the position report will display the PnL in GBP. I have found the portfolio statement will display the PnL in USD, however, for swing traders who hold positions for 2-3 weeks it doesn't easily provide the total PnL, especially if several trades were taken in that time period.

It's easy enough to find the gain/loss in pips. But is there a way to retrieve the same information in position report (PnL, swaps, commision) in the base currency (USD)?


Also as a side note. The online reporting for the trader contests, and the strategy contests are quite comprehensive reports about trading performance, is there any intention of making that type of reporting available for Live accounts?
