Dear Support SC is extremely flexible and there are a few settings I rarely use/change however I will be using the platform for a presentation at the weekend and there is a need to show the FXCM NAS100, NGAS and other CFD's, and there are some default setting queries/errors which probably relate to the fact FXCM uses Pips and Factional Pips, for everything. The default Price display on the SC Platform for (FXCM): NAS100 = .1 NGAS = .001 Default Tick Size NAS100 = 1.000000 (1 full tick) NGAS = 0.005000 Which are not actually those applicable to the FXCM instruments. I have read through the Support link at: Adjusting Tool Values to the Tick Size It does illustrate what I am experiencing but did not help clarify my understanding enough. If I use the SC default Tick Size for these FXCM instruments the Global Crosshair cannot reside on a Bars OHLC due to the Tick Size increments; If I reduce the Tick Size to the correct FXCM CFD Price Display/Tick Size of: NAS100 = 0.0001/0.0001 NGAS = 0.0001/0.000500 It is corrected and I am obviously able to place the Crosshair more closely. My question is this, do the default settings just need changing or are they tied to some underlying code within SC? If I correct/adjust the default values will it impact any other areas of the program such as: Does it impact Auto Trade? Performance reports Risk Return tools Calculator Ratio tools Swing Marker And other background events I realise you will be tied working on more important issues but if you are able at some point to provide some guidance I'd be very grateful.
