MT5 Back testing JPY pairs

[cmuphyfx]

Hi there,

I have an issue with either my EA or MT5 when I backtest JPY pairs. I want to risk 1% of the account balance per trade and I typically have a beginning balance of 100K. So, we should be looking for trades around 1K. The issue is that when I run this on any Major, like EURUSD, GBPUSD, etc, everything works fine but when I run it against a JPY pair, the risk is completely off. I typically have to adjust the risk to 100% for the asset to risk the appropriate amount. I'm wondering if there is a setting in the project that I need to change.

This is a sample run against GBPJPY risking 1% of the account balance. A loss is $9.94, which should really be $994

Here is the same test, risking 100%

I never had any issue when backtesting JPY related symbols. The pip size rules by default in any fxDreema project is more than enough. Are your JPY related symbols having 2 decimal digits instead of the more common 3 maybe?

Do you make any changes in your project settings for JPY pairs, or does the standard fxDreema project work fine for you?

I'm using fxDreema for 7+ years and always used the default values for all JPY symbols with no problem. Your case is certainly weird. Is it still having issues?

Try adding the following equivalence in the "pip rules" section: 0.01 = 0.1

@cmuphyfx Did you fix your problem?

Mine is also off for JPY only. I want to risk 1% but it's risking 1.5%.. Let me know if you had it fix and how, so it might resolve my issue too.

Thanks
