Just downloaded Trial bit after midnight and been working all night on program. Biggest problem at this time is the Symbol Settings for USD/JPY.

1. The Tick Size and Currency Value Per Tick weren't right to begin with and with me trying to correct it made it worse I think. ie. I wanted to open a 5 Range chart and got a 0.025 chart. So in Chart Settings instead of putting in 5, I put in 10 so now I have a 5 Range chart. See what I mean. My poor CountDown Timer is giving the ticks for a 10 range on my now 5 Range chart.

2. Also my Intraday Session Times are incorrect and I can't seem to correct it. It wants to start the day at midnight, and this Symbol starts and ends at 14:00 PST. I don't know what to input.

TIA

1. In the spot Forex markets, there really is no definite Tick Size which exist for these markets.

You can change the settings as you require through Global Settings >> Symbol Settings:

Be sure to also make the change within any existing charts as well.

You will need to disable Global Settings >> Symbol Settings >> Overwrite Existing Settings When Automatically Updating from Server.

2. Here is the documentation for Session Times:

You will want to set the Start Time to 14:00:00 and the End Time to 13:59:59
