Where MT4 stores Profit calculation mode and Margin calculation mode parameters ?
Please consider which section is most appropriate — https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/172166/page6#comment_49114893
I know that information about symbols is stored in the file symbols.raw and has : https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/constants/environment_state/marketinfoconstants#enum_symbol_calc_mode
I was able to read this file and get other values, but I cannot find where the value ENUM_SYMBOL_CALC_MODE ( SYMBOL_CALC_MODE_FOREX, SYMBOL_CALC_MODE_FOREX_NO_LEVERAGE, etc.) is stored. Perhaps in another place? I need to get this data NOT FROM MQL, and generally from a third party program, just by having access to the MT4 installation path.
