No. Futures work fine. You have individual control over each symbol you
want to trade. Right click on the symbol and choose Information. There
you will find a place to set the point value, margin requirements, etc.
You don't need the one under Settings unless you want a generic version.

Subject: [amibroker] Point values for futures symbols
Hello-New to the forum, and attracted to the software by it's
combination of extensive backtesting/features/price. However, I
intend to use the backtester to analyze futures markets, and I have a
concern. On pg. 137 of of the User's Guide, within the Tutorial
Section regarding the backtesting of futures contracts, T.J.
writes: "When you load old database AmiBroker presets point value
field to 1 and assumes that be default 1 point represents one dollar
so one dollar change gives one dollar profit/loss. This is done to
ensure that you get correct results even if you (by mistake) run
futures mode test on stocks."
My question is: Given the preceding statement, does that mean that if
I change the point values, per market, within the software, that the
new point value settings will be erased at exit, and that I'd have to
re-enter all of the point values for each market I'm interested in
each time I open the software/select markets for a backtest?
Thanks in advance for your help.
