I've used this guide to set up AB for forex
http://www.amibroker.com/kb/2006/08/09/amibroker-for-forex/

I'm getting disparate results in the backtester results: wrong positions
sizes, wrong profits, wrong number of contracts, etc...

The backtester settings I have:

1. Initial equity: 5000
2. Forex Mode is on
3. Round Lot size: 1
4. Tick size: 0.0001
5. Account Margin: 4

So in the results I'm getting for the first trade:

1. From entry price to exit price there's an 0.0008 (8 pips) difference
2. Position value: 125,000 (this is correct)
3. Contracts: 125 (this should be 1.25 as one lot is 100,000)
4. Profit: 10,000  (this should be $100, not 10,000)

In the symbol settings:

1. round lot size = 1
2. tick size = 0.0001
3. margin deposit = 1,000
4. point value = 100,000

Which of these settings am i not getting correct??

thanks for your help.
