A100:

it depends on the size of the contract, for silver the contract is 5000 (only it is not the tick size but the value), but the tick size

SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_SIZE - это минимальное изменение цены 

I need to know how much a tick changes for example if I buy or sell 1/0,1/0,01 lots.

For euros it is correct, but for silver and gold it is unclear. For silver, if the price changes by 0.01, the price will change by $50, and for gold, if the price changes by 0.01, the price will change by 0.01?

Konstantin83:

If the price of silver changes by 0.01 the price will change by $50?

0,01 x 5000 = 50

5000 is the size of the silver contract

A100:

0,01 x 5000 = 50

5000 is the size of a silver contract

Then how do I know the change value of a tick for example when I buy or sell 1/0.1/0.01 lots of gold or silver? How can I get these values programmatically?

Ticker	Initial margin	Spread	Spread value	Tick	Tick value	Position value	Maximum leverage
GC	2800	0.50 USD	50.00 USD	0.10 USD	10.00 USD	169 880.00 USD	61
ZI	3300	2.00 cent	100.00 USD	0.50 cent	25.00 USD	165 025.00 USD

In one of the DC.

silver 2012.12.04 21:07:26 TestSilver (XAGUSD.e,H1) LotCost(Current) = 0.05000
Gold 2012.12.04 21:08:31 TestSilver (XAUUSD.e,H1) LotCost(Current) = 0.10000
EUR 2012.12.04 21:08:50 TestSilver (EURUSD.e,H1) LotCost(Current) = 1.00000

Tick value is the same in DC and metaquotes, while silver and gold are different...

[A100]

need complete information: contract value and accuracy

[Konstantin Chernov]

metaquote server

contract * tick = tick value

gold 100 * 0.01 = 1 in market review - symbol specification value 0.01

silver 5000 * 0,01 = 50 in market watch - symbol specification value 0

1. Trading on these characters is disabled (I think this is the main reason for the discrepancy)
2. 0 - clearly an invalid value - I've seen a request to correct this before

[Aleksey Rodionov]

Why are the quotations at the DC practically standing still?

Example:

At MQ in the terminal the quotes change almost every second, while there it seems as if they change once a minute.

Probably because they do not take + - small fluctuations, and when the price starts to change significantly, it changes. Right?

I now have to look in the MQ terminal to trade with that broker =)

Error 4756

The peculiarity is that a correct initialization

        MqlTradeRequest request = { 0 };
        request.symbol = "EURUSD";
        request.action = TRADE_ACTION_SLTP;
        request.sl = 1.3200;
        request.type_filling = WRONG_VALUE;
        request.type = WRONG_VALUE;

error 4756 when executing, and the error initialization

         MqlTradeRequest request = { 0 };
        request.symbol = "EURUSD";
        request.action = TRADE_ACTION_SLTP;
        request.sl = 1.3200;
        request.type_filling = ORDER_FILLING_FOK;
        request.type = ORDER_TYPE_BUY;

on the contrary - it works without error at that

TRADE_ACTION_SLTP should not react on request fields at all, except

• action
• symbol
• sl
• tp

except for

A100: TRADE_ACTION_SLTP should not react to request fields at all

This was the case until last fall. Then there were a lot of questions on the forum as to why an error was returned when filling out a trade request as usual. As a result, it was advised to zero the request variable, as you did.
