# Open Symbol Root settings for the symbol. (see [[Symbol Dictionary for Futures|Editing a Symbol Root in Symbol Dictionary]])
# Add the multiplier rate to the description of the root manually (with asterisk in front, no spaces): '''*XXX'''
::<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': No other symbol setting should be changed.</div>
::<div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">'''Example''': To get 4 integer and 2 decimal digits price format for ES symbol from Trading Technologies, add '''*0.01'''. </div>
# After restart of MultiCharts new data coming from Trading Technologies sgould have the required price format.
::<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': After the Multiplier feature has been used it is important to manually remap the symbol in Symbol Mapping window (see [[Symbol Mapping]]), otherwise the Multiplier won't affect trading and orders with incorrect prices will be sent.</div>
::<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note2Note 2''': All previously collected data will still have the same price format even after the Multiplier feature has been used. If a customer is interestied inconverting old data price format, he or she should export the data into ASCII file from the symbol in QuoteManager (see [[Exporting Data]]) to import it back from the file into QuoteManager, using multiplier on import (see [[Importing Data|How to import ASCII data]]).</div>
