@EU## ticksize, decimals symbol issue

Hi,

I am a new user and I am having difficulties to set up @EU## symbol from IQFeed correctly.
I am using SC version 1441.
After playing around, I have decided to reset my Global symbol settings.
If I use my Data provider settings, I get 4 decimals price formatting and 0.000100 tick size.
If I am correct and according to CME contract specs it should be 5 decimals and 0.00005 tick size.
Through the IQfeed stand alone application I only see 4 decimals.
SC Time and sales and Market depth windows both shows 5 decimals.
If I want to use a trading DOM or Charting DOM, the only way to have quotes like "Current traded bid/ask" or "Recent bid/ask" printed, is to use 4 decimals or Data provider symbol settings.

I have contacted IQFeed support and I have just received this mail from them >

I have an update for you from our chat conversation. You are completely correct, and there is a bug in our market depth data. While our level 1 data is displaying the data to the correct number of decimal places (see below), the market depth level 2 is not matching it, and it should be. This will be fixed asap in the next update..

Now, IQFeed could refer to the IQ stand alone app only, as per attached pictures they have sent me, and I do not know if this is also affecting the feed to SC since I get 5 decimals in the Market depth window.

Can you help verify this issue and/or if my settings are right.


Thanks

S
