I would use 1 for EUR as a minmove in GS so correct setup would be:

Price Scale = 1/10000
PointValue = 125000
MinMove = 1

If you use "12.5" as minmove you will have correct reults in backtesting
only if you use @ market orders to enter and exit. Any other type of orders
would require "1" as minmove to get you correct results.

Good trading.
