SimBroker Tracking Just Points (Not Recommended)

19:08 LW43: I am trying to track points gained or lost per trade, don't care about the $$ now.

19:09 @Ensign_H: lw43, there is a trick you can do to see pts instead of $$

19:09 @Ensign_H: and that is this.... click on Setup | Symbol Properties and on the form left side is each futures symbol

19:10 @Ensign_H: if for example, you are wanting to see ES Points instead of $$, click on the ES symbol on the list.

19:10 @Ensign_H: note there is a $/pt parameter.

19:11 @Ensign_H: we have a Tick field and a $ per tick below it.

19:11 @Ensign_H: we use both together to determine the leverage factor to convert price change to $. I suggest you change both the Tick and the $/Tick selections to a 1 and then we will convert point change to same number, ie you will get points reported on the Sim-broker instead of points converted to $$

19:13 @Ensign_H: so you can use this trick to turn off conversion to $$ if you want to - so in my picture you see 0.25 and 12.50 ........ change both to read 1.00

19:13 @Ensign_H: Not something I would recommend to most, however...BE SURE TO CHANGE BACK FOR RT CHARTING!!!!!!!!
