This might be a silly question as I am new to ProRealtime, I’m looking at the “Break Out Intraday” back testing script, it runs and I understand the code, but how do I set the start and finish period for the test?
Forget that, I realised it simply tests the who chart
This code which executes the order :-
BUY 1 SHARE AT MARKET
What would be the code for a Forex market?
OK I noticed that its possible to code simply “buy at market” does this just buy what ever is appropriate for the market being tested?
Also I am interested in seeing my test results in pips, is that possible?

No, it defaults to 1 contract (lot).

Simply divide STRATEGYPROFIT by PipValue.
OK is there a course that covers all the details of writing detailed back testing scripts ? I have a lot of programming experience, but I need education on the specifics of ProRealtime
You can find something here or in the PRT website or in the YouTube ProRealTime channel.
There should be some good courses in the marketplace, take a look at https://market.prorealcode.com/?prcmaf=9f7907cc&from=home.
