Barry,

I followed you on the setup instructions for Forex.  No problem.

Now what values do you have under contract specifications in the information window for Round lot size, margindeposit, Ticksize, and Point value (for IB)

Thanks,

 

Grover

I am using EURUSD. The get the correct number of decimal places go to Tools > Preferences > Miscellaneous and change the RT quote decimal places to 5. It is on the upper right side of the pop up window.

In Ami there is no symbol category for forex, yet. You can crate one using Symbols > Categories and change Market7 to Currency, under Groups change Group5 to Forex. IF those are taken pick another one. If you want then under a different group and market names then just decide what you want to name them. Once you are done click Apply.

Now go back to the symbol tree, click on the Forex symbol you want to add to the new market and group. Use the command line Symbol > Information. Under that change the Market for that symbol to currency and the group to forex. There are pop up menus to do that under the V arrow to the right of the field. Once done Exit the information window and use View to Refresh all. You should now see EURUSD under market currency and group forex.

If you have a bunch to do you can write a _javascript_ to do it. I have instructions for doing that. If you want to go that way write me a personal email at razzbarry@xxxxxxxxxxxx. It will take a few hours to change the program to do this. It is probably easier to do it manually.

Cheers,
Barry
