Hi,

The bid price being returned from...

sc.GetSymbolDataValue(SYMBOL_DATA_BID_PRICE, order.Symbol, 0, 0);

Is adding 2 extra digits to the price?

The real price is 5514.00 but the function call returns 551400.00?

Is there some setting in SC to get this to return the correct price?

TIA

The price values with that function call will be unadjusted.

Get this value with that same function:
SYMBOL_DATA_DISPLAY_PRICE_MULTIPLIER

And multiply the return value with the price values to get the correct price.

Thanks... this worked. Here is the code in case anyone comes across the same issue.



double multiplier = sc.GetSymbolDataValue(SYMBOL_DATA_DISPLAY_PRICE_MULTIPLIER, order.Symbol, 0, 0);
  
double bid = sc.GetSymbolDataValue(SYMBOL_DATA_BID_PRICE, order.Symbol, 0, 0) * multiplier;
