Hi Rick,
It sounds to me like they simply want the tester to be sure as to the
$/point value of the specific contract being analyzed if dollars are being
used as the measurement metric. There natually is the possibility of
entering the incorrect $/point value versus simply running a "points only"
test. Both tests (dollars or points) should be accurate as long as you use
the correct $/point when "dollar testing."
