Account size question in Strategy Analyzer

[jadder486]

I am trading forex and if I use the default quantity option under the Strategy Analyzer, what quantity does the number 1 represent? I don't know if that represents a lot (100,000) or a mini lot or what. I'm using the wizard for the strategy and don't have a quantity set by strategy so I can't use the by strategy option.

Also, how does the "by account size" option work? It accepts an integer, but how does the setup reflect or related to the size of your account?

Fyi, I looked at the video that walks you though this but these questions aren't addressed.

Thank you.

It is 1 contract. The Strategy Analyzer has no correlation with your account for mini lot or lot size or anything like that. If you want to mess around with the value here you want to go to Tools->Options->Misc and tweak the Pip size settings.

"By account size" works by submitting the maximum amount of quantity it can according to your account's size.
