Free Forex Live Data issue

[Johnny Santiago]

I just activated the free Forex data. I have the PnL Display unit set to currency...But when I place a trade and the price moves in either direction it stays at $0.00
How do I fix this?

[Johnny Santiago]

Nevermind I fixed it

I have some thoughts on what the fix may have been, but can you share what the fix was in your case so that others seeing this topic who have the same issue could potentially resolve it based on your experience?

Yes, in the order quantity it said 1

When I clicked the arrow to change the lots it went to 1,000 and the price currency started to show.

Im very new to forex. When I put 1000 lots it only moves 1 cent. When I put 100,000 it moves $1...why is that?

[NinjaTrader_PatrickG]

Forex quantity works much differently from other asset classes like futures or equities. The simple answer to your question is that 100,000 units of the forex pair you were trading is worth $1.00 per tick (or more accurately, per tenth-pip). You may find calculators like this publicly available one helpful:

Also, here are some educational resources from NinjaTrader on working with forex:
