[amibroker] Re: Alter PointValue() in AFL - not working

Thanks - that makes sense.

The reason I am altering PointValue is because I am Spread Betting on 
the Forex. The formula for spreadbetting works as follows:

PositionSize = MarginDeposit = 1;
NumContracts = 1;
TickSize = 0.0001;

Stop loss is 50 points away from entry point
I risk 10% of my capital per trade: 10% * £20,000 is £2000

Thus PointValue = £2000 / 50 = £40 per point: ie. I bet £40 per 
$0.0001 of FX movement


I assume this is a correct way of implementing it in Amibroker?

Alex
