symbol info settings

Hi All,

 

How do you translate this (MT4):

 

to this (SQ):

 

Specifically the Pip/Tick Step and Pip/Tick Size?

 

I currently set it to what is shown in the screenshot above.

The problem is that the strategies that are created then buy 1 contract in SQ (List of Trades Size=1), but 0.1 contracts in MT4 (generated code states: “extern double Lots = 0.1”; even though I’ve set this Lots=1 in SQ’s Money Management).

Something else I change manually: I set realDigits=0, otherwise trades are opened and immediately closed – I think this influences where stops are placed; in my case incorrectly.

 

PS: This is an index instrument in MT4, not Forex.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 

 

 

Hello,

 

I see there 2 digits so you should the set pip size and the minimum step to 0.01

Hi Tomas,

 

This does not work. If I set pip size and step to 0.01, MT4 code generated still sets Lots=0.01.

In order to get MT4 results to be close to SQ, I have to manually change:

Lots=1;

MaximumLots=20;

realDigits=0;

 

I would prefer not to have to do this manually every time for every strategy that I want to test/trade.

 

Is there a way to set SQ settings so that the correct code is generated?

 

Regards

Stef

Hello,

 

you have to set MM rules in MT4 manually (true/false, lot size, % risk etc). They are not being transfer with the EA. SQ use them for its own calculations.
