I haven't seen a definiitive answer in the backtesting forum so I thought I'd ask some forex traders. What settings do you use in the following areas for backtesting the Euro?
1)Default lot size *on the initial screen(I have 100,000 as I trade a $100K account)
Now after you press test you get to the Strategy Analyzer. In the following fields what do you have?
1)Point Value (I have $10)
2)Commission per trade or per contract? (I have per trade)
3)Slippage (I have $0)
4)Margin per contract ($1000 as I have 100:1 leverage)
Just curious as I got some oddball numbers. Thanks for all of your help!
