This is the backtest for an intraday option trading strategy. It is running with Tradier. The entry size is roughly $60,000 per trade.

The profit $ numbers are correct, but the quantities are under by a factor of 10 and the profit (loss) % is over by a factor of 10.

Futures Mode is enabled.

The Tradier Provider isn't currently assigning the $100 Point value to the contract's SymbolInfo.
Fix for the next update - (Example, with $60K fixed sizes:)



For now, you can fix it by creating wildcard records like this one that assigns a 100 Point Value. You'll need one that has 16, 17, 18. and 19 "#" signs to cover all the underlier lengths -

Thank you. It's not urgent. I can fix the data in a speadsheet. (I am trying your suggestion of keeping a daily record of the backtest. So far, much more reliable than using IB Dummy Broker, as long as you remember to do it.)

Will the update be a Tradier extension or WL update?

Tradier Extension.
But it will take only 2 minutes to create these symbol records. Make one with 16 # and save it. Then click "Create a Copy", add one more #, save. Do that 2 more times. No spreadsheet correction required.
