Hi Paul,
I need tick size for a host of operations in all chart timeframes, and
the range bar size (number of ticks) just for range bars. So I can
not usurp ticksize for another purpose. I did what I said I would do
below, and have not had any problems with it. However, I can think of
a number of symbol specific parameters that I would like to have a
place for in the database.
Now that I think of it, I could always just add a series of Flexible
Parameters for the ones of interest and switch them with the symbol
since I don't trade that many different futures symbols. Mostly just
ES and ER. In fact now that I think of it, it would be a piece of
cake to do that with my system. Hmmmmm, why didn't I think of that
before? I guess I don't really need the Symbol Information database
for anything I do... I can just set a flag if the parameter is symbol
dependent. That would actually make for a simpler UI for me.
BR,
Dennis
