Hi all, hope you are well.
The fund prices show in $*100 on trades view and on graphs. Is there a setting to change
these prices to $? In other words, the prices I see now must be divided by 100.
It has always been so but the share prices are correct.
Thanks

The ASCII and Metastock providers have such option, available at DataSet creation time. There is no setting like that in Wealth-Lab. You can write a simple code to manually adjust the OHLC and insert it in every Strategy before everything else.

I know about the 100* trade volume at DataSet creation time but I don't think you had that in mind. I will consult with the provider.
Thanks

Yes, I was speaking about the trade volume adjustment option. If it's really the OHLC that is multiplied by 100, then it certainly won't help.

Getting it from the data vendor is the right move, but if it won't succeed you can always insert a trivial 5-line code in your Strategies, similar to the one shown in this FAQ:

Is there ChangeBar method in WL6?

It just means that you can alter the prices of the base series any way you want - like dividing them by 100.

It better be the first thing you do in Execute() if you want to use the modified prices.

Thanks for the education... it's working.

How do I handle same in WL4?... my trading version. I have never used the number of shares or quantity because I work in % of equity.

WL4 support has ended 2 years ago in 2010. You'll handle it exactly the same as in WL6, just adjust for a slightly different syntax.

I have found ChangeBar in WL4 and saw that the definition and method is the same
as in WL6. Now I'm stuck again...please give me an educational clue.

When we say that WL4 is not supported, please understand that we really mean it. Only WL6 is supported.

U do accept that you really mean what you say. But please accept that I had to ask because
I really am stuck. If it wasn't for your assistance in the past I would have not enjoyed
some of the benefits of WL.

All my efforts since ~2008 have been dedicated to the WL5/6 evangelism, I have deinstalled WL4 long ago. If you have a WL6 question, please fire away.
