Capability to combine multiple numeric tokens arithmetically
Posted: Tue Feb 14, 2023 9:10 am
As far as I have figured out, although there is a possibility of customizing a field using numeric token modified with arithmetic operators (+ - / *) and a fixed numeric value. However, it seems it's not possible to customize a field using arithmetic operations with multiple numeric tokens. This limits the possibility of data customization.
For example, if I would like to reduce the variable tick spread to half in a MT5 tick export, I would need to customize the original {AskPrice} field.
A couple of options to customize the AskPrice field would be to use the following equations:
{BidPrice+(AskPrice-BidPrice)*0.5}
or
{BidPrice+BidAskSpread*0.5}
But apparently it's not possible to combine multiple numeric tokens arithmetically. Please advise if this is possible is any other way to implement or if such combinations can be supported in future.
