Thanks Stanley.MinMove returns a numeric expression representing the minimum movement allowed for a particular symbol.
MinMove * PriceScale returns the smallest increment between trades.
MinMove * PriceScale * BigPointValue returns the dollar value of the smallest change in price.
Does these reserved words take the values that are set in quote manager ?
If yes, then will it still work for certain Options where the tick size changes according to the option price ?
E.g for some options,
IF Price<3 then tick size is 0.01
else if Price>=3 then tick size is 0.05

Yes, these values are taken from QuoteManager.Does these reserved words take the values that are set in quote manager ?
QuoteManager will not change the tick size automatically but it will work if you change it manually.If yes, then will it still work for certain Options where the tick size changes according to the option price ?
E.g for some options,
IF Price<3 then tick size is 0.01
else if Price>=3 then tick size is 0.05
It would be impractical for a trader, to keep change the tick size when the price of the option changes.Yes, these values are taken from QuoteManager.Does these reserved words take the values that are set in quote manager ?

If the program can handle this, it would be good.
But looks like it is not able to.
Oh well.....
