Wrong symbol tick size and tick value
These are different symbols as you properly noted yourself. You should ask provider - who prepared win$ from winq for you - why they did this so inconsistent.

I'm performing some testes with my EA, and I realized that when I'm in the strategy tester (simulator) the tick value and tick size are different from a real situation.
For instance, I'm printing these values:
m_symbol.Name()
m_symbol.TickValue()
m_symbol.TickSize()
And the results are:
Simulator => Symbol: WIN$, TickValue: 0.200000, TickSize: 1.000000
Real => Symbol: WINQ17, TickValue: 1.000000, TickSize: 5.000000
Why does the strategy tester has wrong values?
PS1: The only difference is that the simulator uses the continuous WIN$ instead of the specific WINQ17.
PS2: The candle values in strategy tester (for instance: close, high, low, open) are also wrong. They should be multiple of 5, but they have other values.
