BUG: Points/Digits wrong when applying Template

New comment
 
I have reported this before but upon further inspection it is quite definitely a bug.

In your templates (tpl) files you store the symbol and digits (e.g. symbol=USDJPY, digits=2). When applying the template to a chart with different point (e.g. EURUSD) size the Point and Digit variables seem to be set from the template (e.g. EURUSD then uses Point=0.01 / Digits=2 rather than 0.0001 and 4). MarketInfo() however gets correct results for both.



Here is a code snippet from the init() function and it's output (note the different values for Point and MODE_POINT and Digits and MODE_DIGITS in the output snippet below).

   bool jpy= StringFind(Symbol(), "JPY")!=-1,
        index= StringGetChar(Symbol(), 0)=='_',
        stock= StringGetChar(Symbol(), 0)=='#',
        forex= !index && !stock;
   
   if ((jpy && Point!=0.01) || ((!jpy && forex) && Point!=0.0001)) {  
      Alert("[Bunnygirl] Internal Error: Incorrect Pip Size for " + Symbol() + " ("+ DoubleToStr(Point,4)+"/"+Digits+")");
      Print(Point, " ", Digits, " ", MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_POINT), " ", MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_DIGITS), " ", MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_TICKSIZE), " ");
   }





2005.11.04 22:56:03 SDX-Bunnygirl EURUSD,H1: Alert: [Bunnygirl] Internal Error: Incorrect Pip Size for EURUSD (0.0100/2)
2005.11.04 22:56:03 SDX-Bunnygirl EURUSD,H1: 0.01 2 0.0001 4 0




This is the upper part of the tpl file. If I change digits=2 into digits=4 I can apply the template to an EURUSD chart with correct results.


<chart>
symbol=USDJPY
period=15
leftpos=19067
digits=2
scale=8
graph=0

volume=0
scroll=0
shift=1

This is build 184, Oct.24th

A fix would be highly appreciated.
