I'm using 1 contract (Raw Profit) mode of position sizing, when backtesting futures data (continuous daily data from TradingBlox).
My trade performance shows only +/- $10-20 per trade: it should be in the 100's or 1000's because of the leverage of futures on the index change - e.g. Corn profits are 50x the gains of the index.
How do i get the backtesting simulator to multiply the performance with the "big point value" of the futures symbol, so it accurately simulates the performance?
