Алексей Тарабанов:
By the way, no one ever wondered why the fifth digit of quote in MT terminal is shown as a small figure?

What if one day a designer comes along and flattens them. That would be a dissonance...

Have you ever wondered why Sell is red and Buy is blue?

Let's have another 136 pages of madness (sorry - zoo) about colour - "give it three!!!"

It won't, because MT employs professionals, I've been convinced of that more than once. Trust me, they will think of something. No substitution of concepts.

Oil is quoted in 2 digits -- i.e. in the example above in MT, oil is quoted with increased precision

Or in your favorite interpretation -- the figure for oil -- the dollar -- and 1 pip = 1% of the dollar

You are absolutely right about oil, Prince. The figure is the dollar, the pip is the cent.

Also more likely, in the MT quote, it is a CFD on a spot contract, a sweepstakes )) nothing in common with futures.

I just can't understand, if everything in MT is wrong, everything is wrong, then why use it at all? There is Transaq, there is QUIK and other terminals. Trade through them, if everything is correct...

Sergey, let me figure out which software to use on my own. ))
