It is possible to modify symbol properties in QuoteManager. Every symbol has a set of properties. Data Source, Category, Exchange & ECN, Symbol Name and Symbol Root are the mandatory properties.
In case the symbol was added from a list supplied by data vendor all mandatory and most optional properties are already set according to data vendor requirements.
It is possible to modify propeties only after the symbol is already added to the symbol list.
In case the symbol was added manually all mandatory (except Symbol Root) and some optional properties are already set.
It is possible to modify propeties while creating a symbol as well as after the symbol is already added to the symbol list.
The properties are edited in the Edit Symbol window:

After filling information in the Add Symbol window the Edit Symbol window appears automatically making possible setting properties.
Property | Tab | Category Applicable | Description | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Data Source* | Category | All | Data source to receive the data for the symbol from. It is possible to have several symbols with the same underlying asset (name) fed from different data source. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Symbol Name* | Category | All | Symbol name is the abbreviation of the underlying asset's name i.e. ticker name. Symbol names may vary for different data source. The same underlying asset may have quite different symbol names for different data sources. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Symbol Root* | Category | All | Symbol root is the abbreviation of the underlying asset's name. The same underlying asset may have quite different symbol names for different data sources. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description | Category | All | Description is the full name for the asset. Usually it is a name of the corporation, financial entity or instrument that the symbol is based on. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
CUSIP | Category | Mutual Funds & Stocks | CUSIP (Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures) is a unique nine-character identification number, for each class of security approved for trading in the U.S., to facilitate clearing and settlement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Margin | Category | Futures | Amount of money exchange requires to reserve as a deposit for futures trading. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Contract Month | Category | Bonds, Futures & Options | Delivery/expiration month of a security. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Contract Year | Category | Bonds, Futures & Options | Delivery/expiration year of a security. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Expiration Date | Category | Futures & Options | Date future or option contract expires. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Expiration Rule | Category | Futures & Options | Expiration rules are quite different for different types of futures and options. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Expiration Status | Category | Futures & Options | Status displays if the contract is expired or not. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Strike Price | Category | Options | Option strike price. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Option Type | Category | Options | Option type (Call or Put). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Price Scale | Settings | All | Returns a numeric expression representing the fractional portion of a full point move for a particular symbol. The PriceScale value is represented by a whole number. E.g. the PriceScale of the E-Mini S&P is100, which represents the fractional portion
of a full point move for the E-Mini S&P.
Any stock would also have a PriceScale of 100. 1 / PriceScale = Minimum price increment.
Examples
Tip: MultiCharts can display prices in both decimal and fractional format.
Displaying prices in decimal format
Displaying prices in fractional format
10 23.25/32 10 23.5 /32 10 23.75/32
"10th" means the decimal in the numerator can be in increments of 0.1.
In a user defined price scale range, it is also possible to input numbers in fractional format into the Maximum and Minimum fields. The numbers will be converted to decimal format when the dialog box is closed. However, the price scale on chart will still be in fractional format. Note: If the price scale of the symbol is already in decimal format and it is changed to fractional format, the chart must be reloaded for the fractional format to appear. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Daily Limit | Settings | All | The maximum price movement allowed during a session (has been removed from MultiCharts). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Min. Movement | Settings | All | Returns a numeric expression representing the minimum movement allowed for a particular symbol.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Big Point Value | Settings | All | The currency value represented by a full point of price movement. In the case of stocks, the Big Point Value is usually 1, in that 1 point of movement represents 1 currency, however it may vary. For example, the Big Point Value for the S&P Futures is 250, where 1 point of price movement represents 250 of the selected currency. The Big Point Value for a stock such as JDSU is 1, where 1 point of movement represents 1 of the selected currency. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
