Contract amounts like x1000 different in Paper vs BackTest

  The amounts like x1000 for Forex not behave correctly in PaperTrading.

  This could be an IB-only thing.

  Working this out in Program Code is enormously tedious but can be done. I myself currently have no problems with it any more (because covered for).

  Think like Papertrading requiring 100000 Forex, while Live and Backtesting requires 100 because the Contract Amount is 1000. See attachment.

  Note : the issue is well known, but is so far never solved.

   

   

  PS: My internal issue # 006.

  You are posting multiple topics about things in the platform that upset you or that you consider to be bugs. The correct place to post issues that you have with the platform is in ‘Platform Support’ forum. The ProOrder forum is for strategy discussions and the ProBuilder forum is for indicator discussions. PRT monitor the ‘Platform Support’ forum and so you are far more likely to get an answer or your topics noticed if you post there.

  Moving all your topics is a lot of work for moderators so please consider where you post topics more carefully with any future topics.

  Post your topic in the correct forum:
  _ ProRealTime Platform Support: only platform related issues.
  _ ProOrder: only strategy topics.
  _ ProBuilder: only indicator topics.
  _ ProScreener: only screener topics
  _ General Discussion: any other topics.
  _ Welcome New Members: for new forum members to introduce themselves.

  Dear Vonasi, that was a huge mistake. GraHal even asked me to post in the Platform board and I decided to do that indeed. Then my first post must have been in the wrong forum, probably by accident because that V11 bugs topic also was there (and you just moved that too, I think).
  I have no intention to annoy you whatsoever and I know the work involved for you (owing a couple of forums myself).

  Apologies !
