Everything looks to be working correctly. One quick question though. FX symbol tick size (and value) settings on the FXCM feed is set globally to 0.00005 (0.005) Why is that? It creates a headache with tick sized orders. Will it create any issues if I manually edit every symbol to 0.00001 Any considerations on this?

Cheers

This is because going to a smaller tick size increases the amount of CPU usage for studies that are based on Volume at price data.

Thank you for the feedback.
Ok, so just to be clear, the feed handles any fractional pip, i.e 0.00001, but the only operational consideration is cpu utilization?
