  Hi all, was just scanning thru some indexes for my new system and noticed this (see photo)

   

  seems like FTSE 100 CASH 1€ is different from FTSE 100 CASH 10£. I’ve always thought the difference was just the contract’s worth, and the underlying markets would all be the same?

  Double checked the platform options and i do not have any custom settings on either the markets.

  Same code, same variables.

  Edit: no stop loss implemented (so theres no “stop $loss 10” or smthn like that)

   

  Edit2: for comparison i added another photo including IBEX + US500 markets with different € contracts and they seem more or less “the same”

  adding another photo showing settings.

  Edit: its only the € showing different EQ line. both the £ are showing “the same” EQ line (obviously different numbers seeing how its 2 vs 10£ contracts)

  Edit2: The US 500 1€ (in photo above) is the same GBL_EUR market. while the US 250$ (also in pic above) is “US” market.. not sure whats up with FTSE..

   

  Edit3: this is live account, not demo.

  Me too! Very worrying what you have exposed!
  Deffo you need to send a Technical Report (via Help etc) … esp as the Issue is showing on your Live  Account!

  Please let us know how you get on?

  Hi Jebus, yes I too have noticed this for all 1 dollar/1 pound/1 euro markets.  They are all “cfda” markets and the larger denominations all seem to be of a different market type-different abbreviation. In short they are both based on the same underlying market but seem to be different data sets-from different providers? The 1 dollar markets seem to be easier to trade/system build too in most cases ive seen. Smaller denomination also easier for money management options.
