Hello all,
I am a bit confused on the trading size in IDEALPRO. Say I want to use $100,000 to buy EUR.USD. Typically, for a stock/futures say i would used the following formula to the the contracts amount = round(($100,000 / (open * bigpointvalue),0); If i do this for EUR.USD I get always 65,000 as a size no matter where the price is. What am I missing? How to properly convert the amount i want to trade into the contracts for EUR.USD?
Thank you.

Hello Alko,
It looks like you have the "Maximum shares/contracts per position" set to 65000 in Format->Strategy Properties->Properties tab.
