Hi,

I don't see what is wrong when testing the second example " eur_30_buy.vfs"
All variables looks okay:

Beside that, I've noticed the following:
-Make sure you're considering the pip size of the default instrument if you make calculations with manual inputs to consider JPY pip size.
-Also, when working with the Ask side, be sure to change that as well in your "Get historical candle" blocks

Else, please describe in detail the problem that you're facing

Cheers

CHF/JPY - ok
CAD/JPY - ok
EUR/JPY - ok
USD/JPY - ok


CHF/SGD - bad
CAD/CHF - bad
USD/CAD - bad
EUR/USD - bad
and other pair is wrong

Hi

Generally speaking, in computer programming, such decimals might be displayed as such. 1.6E-4 is equivalent to 0.000016 so E4 is the number of 0.
