I tried this and it did nothing. I tried mapping IQ's EURUSD.FXCM to EUR and same for USDCAD.FXCM to CAD, no changes in my results. Not sure how to get the backtester to pick up the fact that I've mapped those symbols to these rules.

Preferences > Currencies:

Dynamic Rate (FX Sybmol) -> enter symbol if it exists in the same database and has quotes
otherwise use Fixed Rate and modify exchange rate manually.

I tried using BuyPrice/SellPrice/ShortPrice/CoverPrice but the problem is it won't take values that fall outside the range of the Low and High for a bar. I can't think of any other way to trick it, any ideas?

How do you handle pairs quoted against the dollar, such as USDCAD? To the backtester it will look like the symbol costs 1.0579, when in fact it costs .94520. Is there a way to fix this automatically, or do you test for this in the script by looking at the pair? And if the latter, how do you retrieve the price so that you can invert it?
