Hi,

Right now you can't convert all symbols involved currency values to your account currency as the symbols currency conversion chain is not available on automate API.

You can do it for Forex symbols, by splitting the symbol manually into base and quote currencies, but this will not work for other symbols.

The only option for now is to use Open API which has this data.

You can also open a thread on suggestion section for this feature to be added on Automate API.

RE:

Hi amusleh,

I forgot to mention but the currencies involved will be only EUR and USD.

In such a case, can Symbol.TickValue/Symbol.TickSize be used to get the conversion ratio symbol/account currency? Is this correct?

How to get symbol currency? The equivalent to the account currency given by Account.Asset.Name but for a symbol?

Thank you!

Hi,

Yes, you can use Symbol.TickValue, but as I said it will only work for some of the symbols not all symbols.

To convert one symbol TickValue to another currency you need the symbol conversion chain which is not available right now on Automate API.
