Re:[amibroker] Backtesing Currencies

["Steve" <avalon-ardy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use the following..
Settings : $ per trade = 0; Margin requirement  = 2; Futures Mode = True;  Tick Size = 
0.0001 ( 0.01 for yen crosses); Round lot size= 1

And add these lines of code to your AFL code:

Equity(1);
PositionSize = MarginDeposit = 1;
PointValue = 10000;
