Paul,

I have a stupid criminal that's giving crazy readings on the pip count in iExposure-tickets. Any ideas on what could cause this or how to fix. The numbers seem right except for the obvious wrong decimal placement.

Thanks

Spyderman,

It looks like your broker does not support the MQL4 language completely. It seems the result for the function MarketInfo( Symbol(), MODE_TICKVALUE ) is wrong. Not much I can do about it.

We've seen this before. I'd love to see the output of the script found here. http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... f=47&t=205 You can PM me the result.

What kind of account is it?

It's a micro account. I have both live and demo with them and both show the same type of activity. I have a lot size calculator indi that works off pips of s/l. It doesn't work right either.

The broker is ForexBrokerInc. So far I really like them other than this.

I'll run the script and send it over.

Paul,

Have asked you before...while the kiwi got massacred today after the bad employment report 4.45pm EST, there seemed to be no change in Slope Values post 4.45pm, even as there was 60+ pip gap upward for NZD.

But the eurnzd and euraud pairs had both been shown as sells... still do. So what is the refresh rate for your Slope Values for D1 and H4 TFs? Clearly there can be sudden changes in a pair's character, and thus some kind of frequent update ought to be there. Frequent updates will not save the trader from any such spikes, but at least the post-event situation ought to be reflected in such indis.

Regards,
Athar.

Yes, they have the tick value set to something... Hard to guess what it might mean. There is an option, however. It is possible to calculate the TICKVALUE instead of using the MarketInfo() function.

I found a nice bit of code on the mql4 site (http://forum.mql4.com/32653/page5#331819) that includes code to calculate the tick value. I modified it to work with a currency you pass as a parameter (it was using Symbol() throughout). Using it in the CurrencyInfo script gives the following now for your broker:

The values now compare with my Cowboy IBFX account.

Hi Paul,

It seems MPBM's Upl in Pips does not take into account of Commission & Swap compared with iExposure's pips calculation. If true, can this be fixed please?

Or is it fixed in the latest 1.0.3 version already?

George,

I don't know...

Seems we've seen only one broker that does not support all MarketInfo functions. Of all traders that use our code only a small number, probably less than 1% runs into this problem. Should we really harden our code to accomodate brokers that do not follow rules?

Again, I don't know...

My 2 cents is don't bother if it's just for my situation. I don't think it's critical to any strategy. Doesn't seem to mess with the EA's themselves, more on the indi information end.

Thanks George for checking it out though. I might try giving some feedback to the crim's customer support and see what they say.
