Re: [amibroker] Forex Backtesting Settings For non-USD denominated

[Grant Noble <gruntus@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Most pairs have Ticksize = 0.0001. JPY is the only major to use 0.01 (some minors do too).
Pairs typically trade in lots of 100000 of CCY1 (eg. for EURJPY it would be E100000)
MarginDeposit is frequently 1% or 2% of lot size but this varies from broker to broker. Often it is 
further reduced if stops are used.
Pointvalue as it is used in AB was always a mystery to me given that the value of one pip of price 
movement is typically a multiple of CCY2 (eg. for AUDUSD it would be US$10; for EURJPY it would be 
JPY1000). Hope this helps. G
