forex off by .0001
i have updated to 6.5 without transfering information from 6. Just so i could test it "out of the box". I have a live account and still yet to trade. i still have the same problem i had in 6 trying to use NT with gain. trading off the dom and the single entry works fine. when back testing all dollars come out multiplied by .0001 . I am on a new machine, dual core, and windows vista. HELP! I love the program but am baffled by this problem. it makes it impossible to test any strategy. you should be able to see for yourself loading the currency pairs as provided by NT to default and then optimizing any of the sample trading strategies provided by NT. Could it be vista?
Thank you for your time gentlemen, Howard |

Please look at the 6.5 Help Guide section -
Automated Trading > Running Live NinjaScript Strategies > Running FX Strategies (I think that is the section) Let me know if this may explain what you are experiencing.

The first thing I did once I install NT 6.5 was to try the Strategy Analyzer. Then for the next several hours I puzzeled over why my strategy.. which ran under NT 6.. was not producing any results. Well it was, but I had it set to currancy and my quanity was defaulted to 1... so no measureable results... anyway I rant on...
I will assume there was a very good reason to make this kind of change. My concern is the risk of makeing sure it is 100,000 in backtest and market replay, but then set back to 1 for live - would not be a fun mistake to make. So my real question.. can I programaticly detect which I am on? I could use "Historical" for backtest.. but not market replay. Is there something else I could us to determine if I need to set quanity to 1 or 100,000? Thanks |
