Hi, Can you please explain why symbol SIL is displayed with the wrong values. in Global Symbol Settings they are Tick Size = 0.01 @ $10.00 per tick whilst the contract value is Tick Size 0.005 @ $5.00 per tick & decimal places of 2 rather than 3. Thank you.

Thanks for that. Problem fixed after Updating Symbols from Server. I am wondering how symbol settings ie contract specs can ever be wrong unless changed by the user? Also if live trades are placed and the symbol settings are not as per spec are trades affected by the discrepancy? Thank you.

Occasionally Symbol Settings become incorrect as exchanges change the specifications of a contract. Also if live trades are placed and the symbol settings are not as per spec are trades affected by the discrepancy? An order could possibly be rejected. If there is a change in the Price Multiplier that can cause an incorrect price but it would be very obvious at the time. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
