Tick value

[Sunnybeach]

For example, EURCAD. The tick vale is 0.77169 today by MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_TICKVALUE).
The backtest will start in deposit of USD while MT4 is online which has current USDCAD price.
Shall I input 0.77169 or 1 to export to MT4?
IMO, I should input 1 because MT4 will convert the profit to USD by current USDCAD price while backtesting.

Hi Sunnybeach,

In all cases, you should be acquiring these settings from your broker as described in this post:

Unless you specifically know the effect of the setting, it is not recommended to manually edit them. The parameters are internal to MT4.

Thanks.
