Hello,

I'm using Finam streaming data provider and majority of my stocks have two decimal places, but couple of stocks have 3 or 4 decimal places (for example, ???????? or ??? ??). I tried to make those symbols as futures in "Symbol Info Manager" where I defined 3 and 4 decimal places respectively. But unfortunately that doesn't help: I still see 2 decimal places for those stocks.

Changing "pricing decimal places" to 4 in "Advanced options" leads to displaying 4 decimal places in all stocks which is not convenient for me.

How can i change decimal places in symbols under Finam data provider?

First thing to check: is Futures mode enabled?

If it is, WL 6.0-6.1 may have trouble with symbols with white space or lowercase/mixed case. Examples: "FUT ES", "Aud/Usd".

Finam provider creates symbol names as they exist in source data feed i.e. "Aud/Usd" not "AUD/USD". However, the Symbol Info Mgr tool (6.1) will force symbol name capitalization. For instance, your Finam symbol "Aud/Usd" becomes "AUD/USD" in Symbol Info Mgr, and charts/strategies will no longer treat it as a Futures symbol.

Perhaps capitalizing symbol names in Finam DataSets by the provider itself could be a workaround. I'm not sure but will mark it to research later.

Eugene, I had the same opinion like yours and now I tested the idea with capitalizing to be sure.
I found some symbols which name consists only from caps and converted them to futures mode. After that decimal places in that symbols changed to the value i set.

So mark for yourself that it would be nice to "Symbol info Manager" not to catitalize names.

Thank you for your assistance

Fidelity must have had some reason for forcing upper case -- like fixing a bug. Anyway, RegEx matching is coming in 6.2 to the Symbol Info Mgr but we need to verify that symbols in all cases will work there.

WL 6.2 will fix this problem: forced upper case conversion will be gone from the Symbol Info Manager.

Not only that, we're implementing RegEx (Regular Expressions) for futures symbol matching. RegEx makes it possible for a single expression to match all similar contracts.

For example, instead of entering different records for each e-mini future contract like this:

:
ESM0..
ESU0..
ESZ0..
ESH1..
:

You'll only have to enter 1 record for these (and all future contracts that match the expression):
ES[HMUZ][0-9]..

We'll all have to prepare for the 6.2 release, because RegEx won't interpret special characters like *, +, etc. literally unless you "escape" them with a \. In any case, we'll have a plan and announce this change on the What's New page to give everyone a head's up.
