Yes, it can, with a few minor difficulties.

To start with, you need to choose the currency of your Portfolios and Account. Other wise it will default to USD.

also, you will want to specify your instruments correctly.  they are

Sorry for the double post.

I would like to know it blotter package can be used to calculate 
performance/returns  of a portfolio mixed with cross currencies like GBP.EUR , 
CAD.CHF ?
I can create a stock with

stock("GBP",currency="EUR",multiplier=1)


but functions like PortfReturns , getEndEq don't seem to care about currency ?
