Hi,

It happens because of spread between bid and ask price levels, the bars are created based on bid price.

Thanks a lot amusleh. It makes sense to me.

Hi RedSeaBro, 

It's 30 units of base currency. So if you trade GBPUSD, then it is 30 GBP.

Hi RedSeaBro,

Your assumption is correct. There is a conversion chain for each currency pair that allows cTrader to convert from one trade to another.

If I earned some money from GBPAUD currency pair but USD suddenly increase with respect to GBP, so I might end up losing money?

You won't lose money but the exchange rate will affect your profitability.

Thanks a lot Panaiotis for your timely reply. A follow question is why I will not lose money? For example, if I make 1 GBP profit with 10000 GBP. But the USD to GBP suddenly rises a lot, I probably will have less money because the 10001 GBP will be converted back to USD?

Hi RedSeaBro.

1. The display type (units/lots) is based on your settings. The size demonstrates the available liquidity at each price level

2. The DoM comes from liquidity providers.

Thanks. Just want to confirm what does price level mean.

In this figure, does that mean there are 0.15 lots buy order above 1.89398, and 1.5 lots buy order between 1.89398 to 1.89397?

Hi,

 

1: Simply because all broker fake the liquidity.

2: This is "liquidity providers" aggregated.

Can you provide more details? In which sense do broker "fake" the liquidity?

Hi,

No, a tick is a change in price. What you described is three changes in price. This means three ticks. Each time the price field blinks, it's one tick.

Hi,

A tick is a change in the Bid or Ask price.

So for example if the price changes from 1 to 1.0005 and then drops to 0.9995 in a bar. The volume (number of ticks received) is 10 ticks (suppose a tick is 0.0001). Is my understanding correct?

RE:

PanagiotisCharalampous said:

Hi there,

What does 103 mean exactly?

It's the number of ticks received during that bar

 So the volume here just include the clients who use ctrader, or all the clients who use ic markets as broker, or include all the liquidity providers?

You should ask IC Markets about this.

Thanks Panagiotis. What does one tick mean?

Hi bowen.guo.kaust,

The standard deviation formula is pretty much... standard :)

Thanks a lot for your reply PanagiotisCharalampous.  I understand the formula for regular standard deviation. 

But how does calgo calculate the standard deviation for exponential moving average (ema)? 

For exponential moving average, the average varies at each time sample. Say when calculating the standard deviation for the last 10 time samples, does calgo use the same ema for the 10 samples, or use different ema? And if using the same ema, which ema to use?

Hi,

The Bars.ClosePrices.Last(0) gives you the latest open bar close price, and it will change because the bar is still open and not closed yet.

If you want to get the latest closed bar close price then you should use Bars.ClosePrices.Last(1).

Thanks a lot. This is really helpful.
