Somehow I get closeprice that is in local currency!
Issue seems to be that I am requesting values in local and then again with currency conversion.
For example, if I remove TR.ClosePrice, it provides me with TR.ClosePrice(CURN=USD)
if I have [TR.ClosePrice(CURN=USD),TR.ClosePrice], it returns only USD values in both columns.
I worked around it since I don't really need local currency
