Maybe this is not a bug, but it seems strange. I added an old custom study to ESZ6 that failed. Debugging into it I found that sc.CurrencyValuePerTick was 0.00 (even though sc.TickSize was 0.25). I "fixed" it by doing Apply Global Symbol Settings.

At the bottom of the "Edit Global Symbol Settings" dialog box, there is a checkbox for "Use Symbol Settings in New Instances When Started". I couldn't find documentation for that checkbox, and perhaps that is related to my problem. But my problem was on a primary instance, and perhaps the checkbox refers to sub-instances; I don't know.

Cheers,
Dale

That option is now documented here:

That setting is unrelated to what you are describing. Most likely at the time the chart was created Currency Value per Tick was not defined for the symbol.
