Hello. The MarketInfo() function is used in mql4 to obtain the current market information. What function should I use to get MODE_LOTSIZE, MODE_TICKVALUE and MODE_TICKSIZE not for the current moment, but for the closing prices of bars in the history?
I'm sorry for God's sake, but I can't imagine a stupider question.
MODE_LOTSIZE
15
Contract size in the base currency of the instrument
ALWAYS 100k. But there are those perverts who have it as low as 10k.
MODE_TICKVALUE
16
The size of minimum change of instrument price in the currency of the deposit
ALWAYS depending on the instrument, but not on the current price.
MODE_TICKSIZE
17
Minimum step of security price change in points
And only it depends on the current price. And even from several current prices if it is a cross rates, like EURJPY or EURGBP, but there is no way to get it in mql4. And in mql5 as well.

Using which formula is it possible to calculate MODE_TICKSIZE of a cross if the prices of majors are known?
Which formula can be used to calculate the MODE_TICKSIZE of a cross if the prices of the majors are known?
so modticvelle specifies the value IN DEPOSIT VALUE

Oops... it's just maths, and I'm a little drunk right now and don't feel like racking my brain. Sorry...
Do you want to check the correctness of MODE_TICKSIZE or something more serious?
this is how modtikvelu indicates the value IN DEPOSIT VALUE

Equity and Balance Graph

Unfortunately, a significant error is accumulated when using the current value of TiskValue to calculate the equity: the stronger are the changes in prices in the history, compared to the current ones, the worse is equity valuation.
For a much more accurate estimation of equity at each moment of the past, it is necessary to use its TickValue based on the readings of the majors at the moment of calculation.
What exactly are the readings of the majors to take and how are they to be linked into the formula?
so motikvelu indicates the value IN DEPOSIT VALUE
What is a moticelu?
What is modtiquelu?
... I was just too lazy to even copy it)
What exactly are the readings of the majors to take and how to relate them in the formula?
The historical rate of the pair of interest divided by the historical rate of the quote currency to the deposit currency.
