Setting Data in SQX to match Brokers Digits.

Hi all, I apologize if this is a basic question but its something I’ve been trying to fix all week.

I have built FX strategies that work great with my broker, but when I try develop strategies for Index CFD’s I have issues with Pip sizes for the strategies. I have found that when I build on SQX and test using their supplied Dukascopy Data and output the source code to MT5 to test on my brokers data the results don’t get close to matching.

I have found that adding an additional 0 to the end of my SL pip values fixes the issue, for example: SQX SL = 100pips, to get my broker tests working I must use 1000pips.

I’m sure that the issue is with the broker digits.
I have checked the data provided by Dukascopy and it appears to be 1 digit data.
SP500 CFD (USA500IDXUSD)
pip/tick size = 1
pip/tick step = 0.1
Default Spread = 4

My Broker lists its SPX500 specifications as a 2 digit Data.
The price on my broker is 4001.61
The spread is 53pips.

Can I modify the dukascopy data in strategyquant to match my brokers data being a 2 digit output or do I have to download and build my strategies using the limited data provided by my broker.

If so what is the process, as I have tried going into the Data Manager and modifying the Instruments Data for USA500IDXUSD from a pip/tick step from 0.1 –> 0.01 hoping that would solve my issues but the outputted files still seem to be the same.
Do I need to delete the data existing and redownload it with the updated pip step of 0.01?

Thanks for your time in reading through this subject.

Regards,

Tony.

Hi,

yes, you can basically modify the SQ Dukascopy data setting to match your broker. You can refer to the chart attached
