Use the point values options to specify the point values for each futures or forex ticker symbol you might use.
The point value specifies the amount by which the futures or forex price is multiplied to determine the dollar value of a contract. Point value should be used in a prediction or trading strategy if you want the profit/loss results to reflect the actual dollars you gained/lost instead of the points gained/lost.
