IB price scale for grains is wrong

Postby arnie » 06 Sep 2014

When we add grains from IB, namely ZC, ZS and ZW, Multicharts shows a decimal price scale when grains are quoted in fractions. You need to fix this.

Hello arnie,

In the current version of the symbol dictionary for Interactive Brokers ZC, ZS and ZW already have price scale in fractions. Clean installation of MultiCharts will have these settings.
If you update MultiCharts or install it on a PC with an existing database then settings for existing roots will not be rewritten.
Please configure the symbol dictionary for Interactive Brokers ZC, ZS and ZW in your QuoteManager manually.

Hi Henry

My dictionary for grains shows the following

I've changed to

Multiplier is 5000 for the grains so that was I used for the big point value

I was mislead by IQFeed settings that refer to price scale as 1/8 but the tick size in grains is 1/4

By the way, is there a way for the forum programmers change how images are posted?
Instead of us having to insert the [img] code everytime we want to put the image inside the message for direct viewing instead of having to open the image link, why not to have an option to automatically embed the image into the message itself?

Thanks
