Marco Montemari #: Thanks for your reply but I have just recognized my request is incomplete. I want to set the currency type for testing an indicator, not an EA. For the indicator it seems not way to set it
An Indicator can't trade, and can't affect the balance or equity. In other words, back-testing an Indicator in the Strategy Tester, that monitors Balance or Equity will not function as expected.

I wanted to set the balance and the currency in the strategy manager for testing an indicator, not setting them using the indicator neither trading.
I solved the issue thanks to @fxsaber

how to set initial balance and currency for the strategy tester?
I cannot find the setting for that.
Thanks
