To get correct Fx backtesting dollar results you should have defined the 
following.

1. FuturesMode ON.
2. Roundlotsize = 1;
3. Ticksize of each pair
4. MarginDeposit for your account
5. PointValue for each pair
6. then either tell AB the position size you want
   or give it enuf details to work out your position size.

Then remember to set your spread for commissions per pair.

Generally if your technical indicators show arrows for buy sell in the 
Plot, and the Backtester shows no results, then you likely need to check 
the above settings; also remember to specify your account size and money 
management rules.
If there is not enuf "cash" AB won't take any trades.
