Description

Import SPOT instruments from Binance.
Add a "XYZ"USDT random symbol ... draw a chart and add simple code such as:

if BarNumber = 10 buy (assume Close = 10)
if BarNumber = 20 sell (assume Close = 20)

This transaction will have "the wrong" PNL & stats, as PNL won't be 20-10 = 10, but some other wrong result, likely due to wrong BPV derived for each instrument.

Steps to reproduce this issue
Nothing entered.

Hello,

The described behavior is expected because the BPV accurately reflects the minimum possible amount of money allowed for this symbol (or the minimum contract size in MultiCharts terms). This value is specific to each symbol and is loaded from the Binance server.

Therefore, when you purchase 1 Binance contract, you are actually buying 1 * BPV, because MultiCharts does not support fractional contract trading.
