Backtesting Reports

[Emerald King]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to setup the backtester's reports so show correct information when run on Forex markets?

For example the first picture shows trades and on the first trade it was a gain of 442 pips , but on the report it shows a profit for $4.42 and for one contract that should be $4,442 and for 100 contracts that should be $442,000

next Post I will talk about the second image

Thanks

Part 2

Look at the results for the short trades which the report show garbage but the efs has long and short trades.

Any Ideas?

Part 3

Ok I figured out why I was not getting any short trades in the backtest I had that option turned off.

Can anyone tell me how to solve problem number 1 outlined in the first post of this thread?

Thanks

In the Default Lot Size put the dollar value per point per number of contracts traded. For example if trading 5 ES contracts you would key in 250 (5 contracts x 50 dollars point value)
