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.

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.
