Hello,
PointValue in AmiBroker is equivalent to Tradestation's BigPointValue.
It means that it is the value of 1-unit move. So Point Value for EURUSD would be 100000.
This is so because pip (0.0001 of unit) is worth $10.
This is what you will gain if price moved 10000 pips.
For non-US symbols like for example EURPLN it is also 100000.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
