Thanks for response.

I use your setup, but profits are still in .000x USD
I use this setup in

Backtetser setting:
Initial equity: 1000
Future mode: checked
Account margin: 100

Contract specification for audusd is:
RoundLotSize: 1
MarginDeposit: 0
Tick Size: 0.00001
PointValue: 0.0001

I don't use tick data from Oanda but from metatrader.

Could you help me with proper setting?

Regards,

Piotr Rysak
