Other instruments in my mt4

I attached lowest end of my mt4’s market watch for Belforfx. Someone please help.
If I export these history files to import into SQ, is there a formula to use to set the file attributes?
And are these other instruments also 100:1 leveraged up like the fx instruments?
Wish to play around with SQ using backdata from these, knowing full well its not good with limited backdata, its just an initial play around to get started and “get idea of”.
Thanks

Hello,

what file attributes do you mean? You should be able to easily export the data and import them into SQ like with any other symbol only depending on the amount of data your broker has

If you look at Menu – View – Symbols – “USOUSD” – Properties  you should see the leverage size there

I see contract size only.

My Belforfx showed a year of 1hr on chart for an SPX, but exporting the data only availed 1 month, very strange.

I did get 1yr of gold…..so…..favor por favor tomas…..settings for points window for importing into SQ please. Tried something similar to an fx pair, but SQ didn’t even budge in starting random search.
Can it be run with 1 micro lot? Maybe thats why it not run? Or I need try 1 mini?

Hi Tomas,
I attach screenshots of gold data from my Belforfx and the data edit window.
I have no idea how to change settings on this edit window for this gold data, my first attempt with importing this data had SQ just sitting there dumbfounded.
Sorry for my ignorance, for all these years with SQ only played with couple of fx majors, appreciate your help to play with this one.
And any other settings in SQ to run it, say with $1,000 or $100, would be helpful to get me started. Is .1 and .01 lots still applicable? (For this broker, .01 is a micro for eurusd and $100 size acct).
Thanks Tomas,
Jerry

Tried to look at Belforfx to get contract specs but site is not working

Mini and micro lots should be possible since these are CFDs contracts obviously. Ask your broker for this

Pip size could be 0.01 and point value 100 bucks for Gold (XAUUSD, GLD)

Hello,

I exported properties from my MT4 and this is the property for XJPG225 index:

XJP225_LOT_MAX=50000
XJP225_LOT_STEP=0.1
XJP225_STOPS_LEVEL=0
XJP225_CONTRACT_SIZE=100
XJP225_TICK_VALUE=0.01

XJP225_PROFIT_MODE=1
XJP225_SWAP_TYPE=0
XJP225_SWAP_LONG=-232.58
XJP225_SWAP_SHORT=-251.55
XJP225_FREE_MARGIN_MODE=1
XJP225_MARGIN_MODE=1

Where Can i found here the parameters to insert in instruments ? in your instruments.xml file the values for J225 are:

Point value: 10
Pick/Tick size: 1
Pick/Tick step: 0.1
Default spread: 10

Thank for your support

Hi,

the SQ point value is the XJP225_CONTRACT_SIZE so you set 100

The pip size and step are both 0.01

The spread size can be determined in your platform by watching Bid – Ask spread

Thanks, only to clarify the question, so if in XJP225 I have bid: 27446,5 and ask: 27459,5 the difference ask-bid is 13, how obtain 1300 af spread as mentioned in MT4 property ? <span class=”HwtZe” lang=”en”><span class=”jCAhz ChMk0b”><span class=”ryNqvb”>multiplying by XJP225_CONTRACT_SIZE ?</span></span></span>

onother question, where to see in the example fields “The pip size and step are both 0.01” ?

Thanks
