New Coins on Binance and Contract Ratios

Postby tornadoatc » 19 Feb 2021

Hello,

Can you please explain when a strategy can be used to trade new coins on Binance? For instance, today DODO started trading (DODOUSDT, DODOBTC, DODOETH) today and I do not see a contract ratio specified for this coin.

When does the Contract Ratios list get updated regarding new Binance listings? Can I somehow update the Contract Ratios via configuration ?

Thanks..

Hello tornadoatc,

Please download and install the updater.

If you have regular MultiCharts you can download it here.
If you have MultiCharts .NET please download it here.

When downloaded, right click the archive -> Properties -> check Unblock in the bottom of the window.

After that install it according to the instruction.

After that please make sure that the required instruments are added from the data vendor supplied list.
All the current Contracts Ratio values should be available in the broker profile settings.
These values are received from the broker and cannot be modified.

Kate, how it is possible to get indicated contract ratios from EL script ? It needs to calculate position size properly

andreinvest,

Contract Ratio value for Spot symbols and USDT Futures equals to Big Point Value, you can reference BigPointValue from the script.

But in case Binance changes the Contract Ratio after you added the instrument to MultiCharts, its Big Point Value stays the same until you change it manually. In this case, the BPV and Contract Ratio will differ. We plan to improve this in future versions.

Considering such possibility, you can use BigPointValue for script calculation, but we recommend to make sure it coincides with contracts ratio before turning on auto trading.
