Using strategy analyzer w/ FX

[d.allen101]

hi,
when back testing with currencies (FX) i'm aware that i must set the order qty to 100000, am i expected to set this via the Backtest properties dialog box? when i set the qty by using the backtest property dialog it's not working. it's not generating any traders.

d.allen101, correct you would enter this as the 'default quantity' for backtesting a full lot (100K). Have you checked with the SampleMACrossOver if you get trades with this displayed?

yeah, it works with the default strategies provided by NT...but my user defined strategies are working with equities, futures and indexes (mapped). i can't seem to figure why NONE of my strategies are executing in strategy analyzer when i attempt to run them of currencies? do you have any ideas of what i'm doing wrong?

hey bertrand no need to look further into this issue, it's now resolved.

thanks for your help!
