Value of point sp500 in code

  Hello,

  I have programmed a system for sp500, it´s possible to tell the program value point is 1 dollar instead of 50?

  The idea is to use it with cfds, no with futures

   

  thanks

  pipvalue or pointvalue ??

  It’s only 50 if you are using the $50 Contract.

  But if you use pointvalue in your code then it will be correct for whichever Contract you are using.

  Thanks for reply Grahal,

  On sp500 1point= 50 $ ( i have pasted an image)

  For example, in the next code, how can i change de pointvalue ? i want 1point = 1 dollar

  I´ve tried the function pointvalue, but i dont know where to put it.

  Or how to configure the graphic

  thanks .

   

   

  Example

  indicator= rsi[14](close) c1= indicator < 30 IF NOT LongOnMarket AND c1 THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF c2= indicator>70 If LongOnMarket AND c2 THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  indicator= rsi[14](close)   c1= indicator < 30 IF NOT LongOnMarket AND c1 THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF   c2= indicator>70 If LongOnMarket AND c2 THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF

  The identifier is SPTRD so trying to type that in the search box. I often find that SP500 does not bring up the results I expect.

  Ok, I don´t find that kind of graph inside prorealtime. I think it´s necessary to have it from a connection to a broker like IG. I think there will be no way to change that option through code.

  However, very grateful for your answers !!!

  Your screenshot shows NASDAQ US 500.

  My screenshot shows US 500.

  Did you type SPTRD in the search box?

  I find (same as Vonasi said) … if I don’t type in SPTRD I get loads of unwanted markets, like NASDAQ US 500 🙂

  With Major indices i have this.

  Grahal, have you connected prorealtime with IG ?

  I think the problem it´s my broker can not connect to prorealtime
