cas, depends on what you want to backtest. I set it up in the code to backtest a single future.

to test it I additionally fill in the "contract specification" in the Information Window.

For instance for oil I use:
round lot size = 1
margin deposit = 5000
tick size = 0.01
point value = 1000

then the backtester setting I only set it to future mode. But all this is in the manual.
