Detection for FX order quantity

[Jellybean]

Hi

I need to calculate the order size for an FX strategy and I want it to work properly in both back testing in the Strategy Analyzer and in live operation. I have read the Help about FX order quantities with and without a Live Brokerage Connection, so I know I need to handle the two situations differently.

How can I detect the situation? Is it OK to use Historical? For example

if( Historical )
// calculate using currency units
else
// calculate using PointValue

Cheers
Tony

Hi Tony, yes the Historical check would be good to assign the qty's to use.
