# 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'''<br><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>
# Save the changes by clickng clicking '''Ok'''.
# Close MultiCharts and make sure all its processes are ended (see [[MultiCharts Processes]]).
# After restart of MultiCharts new data coming from Trading Technologies should have the required price format.<br><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 will be sent with incorrect prices.</div><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note 2''': Multiplier feature affects only the data the collected in real-time. All previously collected data will still have the same price format even if the Multiplier feature is used. If a customer is interested in converting 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>
