Hi there,
At least with IB, there is not roudlotsize, the only requirement is a mimimum trade size which is about 30k usd. After that u can trade any size, like 123322 , as long as it is greater than the minimum 30k usd. I backterst forex just using margin settings, and setpositionsize, so \i can get any position. The only limitation is (from the help) spsPercentOfEquity (=2) - size expressed as percent of portfolio-level equity (size must be from ..100 (for regular accounts) or .1000 for margin accounts) So even if you set margin to 1%, you cannot go beyond 1000/100=10 margin. If this limit was increased u coul trade any currency in this way without treating it as a future. The way i get around it is to modify the sig.posszie in the cusom backtesting. Currencies are jus another security which can be traded on margin, like a stock, and since the order size has not to be a multiple of any rounlotsize (at least with IB), if find it easier and more natural to backtest in this way. I hope next AB version will allow any spsPercentOfEquity , also >1000 Cheers Ly --- In [email protected], "gabriel...@..." <fina...@...> wrote: > > hi there, > > can anyone help me a bit with some settings for forex using mini lots > on EURUSD ? > > for example, i want to start with 1000$ in my account with a leverage > 100:1.. and with 1$ value of pip.. what settings in AFL i should use ? > > best regards, > GV >
