(01:27:57 AM) *****: What is the last you have right now on MT5?
(01:28:00 AM) *****: for TYAM8
(01:28:15 AM) *****: 121.187500?
(01:28:25 AM) Justin: yes
(01:28:32 AM) *****: and TV right now?
(01:28:42 AM) Justin: 055
(01:28:57 AM) *****: MT5 has a different way
(01:29:02 AM) *****: of displaying the prices
(01:29:14 AM) *****: hang on
(01:29:23 AM) Justin: doesn't make sense...
(01:29:49 AM) *****: It does not display in the normal format
(01:29:54 AM) *****: its a bit different
(01:30:16 AM) Justin: So, do you mean MT5 is flawed platform?
(01:30:20 AM) *****: its not flawed
(01:30:29 AM) *****: its meaning that it does not display the tick increment
(01:30:39 AM) *****: with the traditional way that ten year ticks
(01:30:52 AM) *****: because its a forex platform its calculating it differently
(01:30:53 AM) *****: hang on
(01:31:07 AM) Justin: unbelievable....
(01:31:26 AM) *****: its actually correct but just displaying in a different format
(01:31:55 AM) Justin: So, TV is accurate?
(01:32:13 AM) *****: TV is showing it in 1/64th
(01:32:15 AM) Justin: The problem is when I put SL and TP, I use the numbers shown in MT5
(01:32:19 AM) *****: which is the common format
(01:32:33 AM) *****: but MT5 shows the tick size as .015625 instead
(01:32:38 AM) *****: that is the formula used
(01:32:40 AM) *****: in MT5
(01:33:10 AM) *****: You will notice the same thing with USAM8 symbol
(01:33:15 AM) *****: try an experiment for me
(01:33:19 AM) *****: pull up USAM8
(01:33:21 AM) *****: on both platforms
(01:33:25 AM) Justin: Ok, let's make it simple. The numbers shown in TV is same as the ones shown in Ninja Trader or TradeStation or Thinkorswim?
(01:33:25 AM) *****: and let me know if you see the same thing.
(01:33:30 AM) *****: Correct
(01:33:44 AM) *****: TV is going to display the more traditional way of how the tick size is displayed
(01:34:05 AM) Justin: Ok, it sounds to me MT5 is crap
(01:34:06 AM) *****: where with MT5 because traditionally forex platform it displays its differently
(01:34:16 AM) *****: not so much that its just a different platform
(01:34:24 AM) *****: not traditionally a futures platform
(01:34:34 AM) *****: Try the test for me if you can
(01:34:38 AM) *****: with the USAM8
(01:34:43 AM) *****: let me know if you see the same thing.
(01:34:51 AM) Justin: Ok, that's enough. I will use TV.
(01:34:59 AM) Justin: Thank your time anyway.
(01:35:01 AM) *****: just for me if you can test
(01:35:04 AM) *****: just so i know
(01:35:05 AM) *****: for myself
(01:35:11 AM) Justin: Sure, have a good day
(01:35:12 AM) *****: so i can report to MT5
(01:35:13 AM) Justin: Bye
(01:35:17 AM) *****: can you test first before you leave?
(01:35:19 AM) *****: and tell me now
(01:35:20 AM) *****: so i know
(01:35:24 AM) *****: so i can send a report to MT5
(01:35:30 AM) Justin: No, that's ok.
(01:35:33 AM) *****: just pull up both symbols on both platforms
(01:35:36 AM) *****: and let me know if you see the same thing
(01:35:45 AM) Justin: Metaquote is hopeless crap company
(01:35:49 AM) Justin: I don't care
(01:36:05 AM) *****: ok no problem
(01:36:07 AM) *****: Have a good day.
(01:36:08 AM) Justin: Bye
(01:37:23 AM) *****: Just for reference so you know i figured it out
(01:37:37 AM) *****: TV shows the fractional value and MT5 shows the decimal value of the tick size
(01:37:41 AM) *****: that is the difference
