Symbol → currency mapping

• ASX stocks (.AX suffix) → Australian Dollar (AUD) — e.g. CBA.AX, BHP.AX
• US stocks (no suffix) → US Dollar (USD) — e.g. AAPL, TSLA, NVDA
• London Stock Exchange (.L suffix) → British Pound (GBP) — e.g. BP.L, LLOY.L
• Toronto Stock Exchange (.TO suffix) → Canadian Dollar (CAD)
• Tokyo Stock Exchange (.T suffix) → Japanese Yen (JPY)
• Hong Kong Exchange (.HK suffix) → Hong Kong Dollar (HKD)
• European exchanges (.PA, .DE, .MI suffixes) → Euro (EUR)
• CFD indices and forex: use the broker’s recorded result currency; an underlying index currency does not establish the CFD P&L currency
