Setting up currencies
I have set up all my currencies but just wondered what i need to enter for the Lot column. Different currency pairs will have different tick values per lot, ie for USD/JPY 1 lot of 100,000 will equate to $8.4 per tick, and GBP/USD is $10. How do i set these variables within Forex Tester?

You enter the 100,000 for example. This is the cost of 1 lot in base currency. For GBPUSD it will mean that 1 lot costs 100,000 GBP, that means that 1 point will cost 1 USD. For USDJPY 1 lot 100,000 USD, that means that 1 point will cost ~ 8.4. It will be calculated automatically, you just need to set 1 lot price.
