The prices in the intraday data editor (and backing file) have misplaced decimal points. Did the SCID file format change and you failed to update the editor and documentation, or is this a bug?

That is unusual. We will look into this.

What you see is how the actual data is stored based upon the particular data feed being used.

However, we will apply the real-time multiplier to it. This will be out in the next release.

Is there a way to know that a SCID file needs a multiplier applied to the price field?

This is determined through the Symbol Settings for the symbol. This would be the case if the real-time multiplier is set to other than 1.

1. Can you confirm that this is the SYMBOL_DATA_DISPLAY_PRICE_MULTIPLIER value of sc.GetSymbolDataValue()
2. Does this only apply to prices in the SCID file and not sc.BaseData[] prices? The BaseData[] seems to already have the correct prices.
3. If I want to create a custom import file, do I need to be aware of the multiplier? The tick data import help (Text/CSV Data Format) does not appear to discuss the multiplier.

1. Yes. In most cases.

2.Yes:
. Does this only apply to prices in the SCID file

3. The Price Multiplier settings would apply to the data read in from your data file.

Yes. In most cases

In Sierra Chart v2443, SYMBOL_DATA_DISPLAY_PRICE_MULTIPLIER returns a value of 1.0 for ES?##_FUT_CME
I believe it should be returning a value of 0.01 as per attached screenshot of the symbol details?

That does not seem right. We need to test this and come back to you.

This code gives us .01 for the symbol ESZ22_FUT_CME:
  double SymbolDataValue = sc.GetSymbolDataValue(SYMBOL_DATA_DISPLAY_PRICE_MULTIPLIER);

It appears that SYMBOL_DATA_DISPLAY_PRICE_MULTIPLIER is not correct until after history bars have been processed. That is, until sc.Index is current.
This would be OK, if there were a way to detect when SYMBOL_DATA_DISPLAY_PRICE_MULTIPLIER is valid?

The following study demonstrates the issue (see attached image)

To duplicate:
* Attach study from below
* Reload and recalculate chart
* You should see a value of 1.00 until the last bar where it gets the correct value of 0.10

#include <sierrachart.h>

SCDLLName("SCTest");
SCSFExport scsf_SCTest(SCStudyGraphRef sc) {
if (sc.SetDefaults) {
sc.AutoLoop = 1;
sc.Subgraph[0].Name = "Multiplier";
return;
}
sc.Subgraph[0].Data[sc.Index] = (float)sc.GetSymbolDataValue(SYMBOL_DATA_DISPLAY_PRICE_MULTIPLIER);
}
