"Metatrader Info" settings in "Export to MT4"

Post by jollydragon »

After searching, I'm still not clear on these settings of "Metatrader Info" in "Export to MT4" :
GTC Pending: Difference between 'yes' and 'no'?
Swap roll/o: What are the candidate options? And meaning?
Mgn divider: What are the candidate options? And meaning?

Also one in "Data export":
File format: build 545 or 545+? What does it mean and the difference?

Hi Jollydragon,

The settings you mention are acquired from your broker by the TickstoryExpert and do not need to be manually set. They are only provided for the sake of transparency as MT4 uses these settings but have not explicitly documented them.

The "File format" setting defines whether you wish to use the MT4 export format that was used prior to Build 545 or the latest (updated) file format which is used subsequent to this build. The value is automatically set depending on the MT4 installation you have configured in your setting and should not be changed unless you have a specific reason for doing so.

Regards.

Dear Sir./Mis.,

Thank you for support. However, I really want to know the meanings of these 3 parameters:
GTC Pending: Difference between 'yes' and 'no'?
Swap roll/o: What are the candidate options? And meaning?
Mgn divider: What are the candidate options? And meaning?
Could you please help clarify? Thanks again.

Best regards

Hi Jollydragon,

As mentioned, these parameters are not documented by MT4 as they are used internally. You could try asking this question on the MT4 forums to see if anyone can assist.

Regards.
