Tickstory

Hi,

Good day. When an order is generated, the MT4 Results tab shows only two digits for my stop loss and take profit prices. The entry price is correct (three digits). In the Journal tab it shows the confirmation of the correct prices (with three digits) for entry, sl, and tp. To further illustrate, here's an example using eurjpy pair:

Correct Prices (buy limit):
entry price: 126.995
stop loss price: 126.925
take profit price: 127.135

In the results tab, it shows rounded up prices for sl and tp:
stop loss price: 126.93
take profit price: 127.14

I am using MT4 build 439, Tickstory V.9b, and I used the Tickstory Generic 5-Digit Broker in generating fxt and hst files. What should I do to have the sl and tp prices correctly set up to three digits?

Attached are the screenshots for reference.

I also have a question about the Base Comm, Comm Type, and Comm Lot in the Metatrader Info section. What should I input on these fields if my broker charges a fixed 25 USD per round-turn lot?

Thank you in advance,
Marj

Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you. Putting the symbols raw file into the directory resolved the issue. Would you happen to have an answer with my query regarding the commission configuration to be inputted in the tickstory?

More power to you,
Marj

Hi Marj,

With regard to commissions, Tickstory allows you to specify the "raw" values that are embedded into the Metatrader FXT which are as follows:

Comm type: The base commission type - either Money (set to 0), pips (1) or percent (2).
Base comm: The commission value - this is the amount of Money (if Comm type is 0) or Pips (if Comm type is 1).
Comm lots: The commission charge type - can be Commission per Lot (0) or Commission per deal (1).

So to specify a $25 lot, you would need to set the values:

Comm type = 0
Base comm = 25
Comm lots = 0

Hope this helps.
