Default Mapping

Sorry if this is a duplicate, I did attempt to search the forum.

1. When you load a config file, the Map to field is populated, but if you set as default, when you go to export it does't populate the map to.
2. When you use the EA to export the config, it would be good if you could specify overrides - such as GER30 > DEUIDXEUR. This cannot be achieved using the suffix like other instruments and the config then needs to be entered manually.

Thanks

Tom

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the feedback. We've made a note of the 'Map to' field issue. Regarding the "symbol override" feature you mention, we are currently working on a different (and easier) way of specifying these fields. That is, we hope to have a list of symbols from your broker terminal available for selection.

Kind regards.

Was kind of anticipating the 'map to' was going to be fixed in the next release?

Hi Tommylux,

Thanks for touching base. In the absence of feature #1, you can get the result you need by doing the following:

1) Edit your .mt4config file with Notepad or any other text editor.
2) For each one of the symbols you wish to map, enter the following:

Code: Select all

Symbol_<symbolname>_MapTo=<mapped symbol name>
For example:

Code: Select all

Symbol_AUDCAD_MapTo=AUDCADecn
3) Save your edited config file
.
When you next load the mt4config file it will automatically populate the "map to" field.

Hope this helps!
