Metatrader5 USA30.IDX Specification

[Beam30]

Hi there,

I have downloaded the USA30 tick and bar data as per the helpful guide on your site.

However, when I am creating the custom symbol for Dow Jones on MT5, I am having issues with getting the correct contract size and therefore position sizes when conducting the backtesting.

How can I find the correct specification to use?

Thanks

Hi Beam30,

In Metatrader 5, when you "Create Custom Symbol" (in View->Symbols), there is a "Copy from" option as shown in the screenshot. This will copy all the instrument specifications.

Regards.

Thank you - it is working now.
