Parameters
name
[in] Symbol name.
prop_id
[in] Identifier of a symbol property. The value can be one of the values of the ENUM_SYMBOL_INFO_DOUBLE enumeration.
double_var
[out] Variable of double type receiving the value of the requested property.
Return Value
The value of double type. In case of execution failure, information about the error can be obtained using GetLastError() function:
- 5040 – invalid string parameter for specifying a symbol name,
- 4301 – unknown symbol (financial instrument),
- 4302 – symbol is not selected in "Market Watch" (not found in the list of available ones),
- 4303 – invalid identifier of a symbol property.
Note
It is recommended to use SymbolInfoTick() if the function is used for getting information about the last tick. It may well be that not a single quote has appeared yet since the terminal is connected to a trading account. In such a case, the requested value will be indefinite.
In most cases, it is enough to use SymbolInfoTick() function allowing a user to receive the values of Ask, Bid, Last, Volume and the time of the last tick's arrival during a single call.
The SymbolInfoMarginRate() function provides data on the amount of charged margin depending on the order type and direction.
Example:
void OnTick()
