Hello everybody,
In my previous question placed about the MarketInfo command, I wasn't clear enough what I want to achieve. I'd like to explain this better here:
I'm currently writing a Risk management application and as part of it, I calculate the Pip value in my accounting currency.
As an example:
Accounting in: USD
Trading Chart: EURGBP
Cross currency pair: GBPUSD (pair used for cross rate calculation)
So, trading the EUR/GBP pair, I want to access the ask price in the Market Watch file using the MarketInfo("GBPUSD",10) command.
And that's when MarketInfo does not perform as expected. I receive no information for the pair GBPUSD.
The question is why ?
Is MarketInfo designed to deliver information ONLY for the chart you have the Expert advisor attached to?
If you have an idea, this would be great.
Your help is appreciated. Thanks.
