trade prices incorrect

I created a strategy using eur/usd , well the prices were all over the place some were for example 168.99 and others were normal like 1.6899 then i had two trades on one strategy that made over a hundread thousand due to the prices being different , for example a short entered at a price of 168.65 and exited trade at 1.3815 since the decimal is for some reason in the wrong spot; it calculated the wrong profit. Im wondering why this happened , also for the data details of the currency pair what is appropriate setting for Pip/Tick Step and Pip/Tick Size ? im sure pip tick size is 0.001 but im not sure what should b set for the other , is 0.0001 the correct setting for all pairs?

Hi,

for EURUSD the correct setting is Pip/Tick Size 0.0001 and Pip/Tick Step 0.00001.

They are 2 options why this happened, one is wrong data, another one is wrong values.

Check the attached pictures, you can see the values for more currencies if you will need.

Best regards

Patrick

Risk Disclosure:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
