Find: File data load first futures value bar values contract set.

The tick value and the min move values are specific to a particular futures contract, and need to be set when you load a data file. So if you load a FTSE futures data file, the tick value will be 5 ( 5) and the min move 0.5 points. Once you have advanced to the first bar of the chart these variables will become locked (unchangeable), so you need to ensure that the right values are entered when you first load a new data file, but before you advance to the first bar. Commission: this is the price you pay to buy and sell one futures contract through your broker. It could be anything from 2 to 50 and is up to you to set, the value can only be entered before the first bar of a data file appears on the screen, from that point on it is fixed, until you load the next data file.
