Backtesting

[Johnsp]

I'm running some backtests on the S&P emini. I need to understand how to exit the trades when a certain target is reached or when the stop is set.

I'm using the Strategy.doSell or Strategy.doCover commands but what is the numeric number to use for say a 2 point stop (8 ticks)?
Using '2' does not achieve the desired results. In the test results, how is this then converted into $$.

Thanks.
