It will be the way you have your scale set up.

You can double check by looking at prices for bitcoin in Sep 2015 and it was 22,975.00$ … the price that your backtest bought at.

What is satoshi, it doesn’t show on my platfrom. If you cant see satoshi then you can’t buy it

but the price at 245 Septembre 2015 is arroun 230USD, exactely at the close at 229,75$ but the software buy at 22 975$ ?

and about Satoshi it’s just : 1 Satoshi = 0.00000001 BTC
on many brockers you can split 1 bitcoin and buy only 10 Satoshi for exemple, you can buy only 0.0000001 BTC = 10 Satoshi

You would need to ask IG as the broker.
helpdesk.uk@ig.com

Or ask on the IG Forums …

Hello,

You can also do the following in order to send a technical report to ProRealTime, and allow them to analyse your code:
- As soon as you encounter the issue, go to the “Help” menu on the ProRealTime toolbar.
- Please assure that the window concerned by this issue is open.
- Click on “Help center”, then on “I have a technical problem”
- Choose the category “Automatic trading”
- Give the name of the code you are referring to.
- Indicate the instrument name, the date and time of the order, type and quantity and explain what the code should have done
- Click “Send report”
Hoping this can help.
