MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Hi Folks,

Would anyone know what the correct settings for EUR/USD with LMAX are?

This is what I have,

Price scale: 1/100000
Daily limit: 10000
Min. Movement: 1
Big Point Value: 100000

Are these correct for standard lots with LMAX?

Also, I have the "percent trailing" signal attached as part of an exit strategy.

It is set to:

FloorAmt: 50
Trailing Pct: 20

But the exits are not trailing at 20%, for example that first trade went up to $300 in profit but then it did not exit the position until it dropped to $100. This is not the first time I have seen this, and it happens quite a lot. It is not a speed or market move issue either as it was moving extremely slowly when I observed this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello mrticks,

The settings are correct for a stand lot (100,000).

As for the percent trailing question, please send me the following information for further analysis (support@multicharts.com):
- workspace you are using;
- in QuoteManager select the symbol you are using, make a right click on it->Export data->Export instrument (with data). Send me the Qmd export file for analysis;
- in PowerLanguage editor->File->Export->export with dependent functions the studies you are using in the workspaces you are providing. Send me the study export file.
