How do I make more than 3 cents?

[KBJ]

I just ran the Strategy Analyzer and with 122 winning trades and 162 losing trades, it profited 30 cents and lost 27 cents.

Looking at each of the individual trades, none of them one or lost more than $0.01 (one cent).

I'm using the Gain capital Demo forex connection and was running the SampleMACrossOver strategy as distributed by NinjaTrader against the $AUDJPY currency pair using NinjaTrader version 6.5.1000.9.

If you look at the attached chart, you'll see two trades that made or lost about 20 pips each. So why do they show up as no money won or lost?

A regular forex lot would be quantity=100,000. It's only different for GAIN live where one lot really is Qty=1 -> please backtest with Qty=100,000 and your results would be as expected.

Where should I look to define this "Qty" setting?

Hi KBJ,

Please see the attached screenshot.

Jason & Dierk, Thank you.

What I was missing was that the "Set order quantity" had to be set to "by default quantity" first; otherwise the "Default quantity" enrty does not appear amongst the settings.

I tried it this way and it's now working fine for me.

Thanks again.
