Post From: LMAX backtest profit/loss calculation

I am backtesting on 5 min bars on LMAX data. As far as I have understood 10 lots in SC equals 1 standard lot in LMAX (100 000 currency units). I opened a demo account (just to make sure) on LMAX and 10 lots equals 1 standard contract (100 000 currency units), which I assume is the same as yours. However when I backtest, it doesn't seem to calculate it properly. Below is some of trades executed: Symbol Trade Type Entry DateTime Exit DateTime Avg Entry Price Avg Exit Price Entry Quantity Exit Quantity Max Open Quantity Profit/Loss Cum P/L Runup Drawdown Max Open Profit Max Open Loss Entry Efficiency Exit Efficiency Total Efficiency Commission

If 10 lots in SC equals 100 000 currency units the profit/loss with 10 lots should be 12.0 currency units, not 1.20. I probably have missed something here, so please explain what is wrong. Thanks!
