We found today that StringToPrice /PriceToString does not roundtrip for Soybean Oil contracts.

Example: I get the current price for ZLK7. It is .3150. I input this price to OECAPICOM::IContractPtr::PriceToString and get back 31.50 as a string. Then I input this 31.50 string into OECAPICOM::IContractPtr:StringToPrice and get 31.50.

If this example should roundtrip, then it seems the StringToPrice function needs work.

Thanks,
CHW

Chris, this is issue on API side. It is fixed and going to be released with next update.

Please, be careful. API and PROD settings are not the same on API and PROD environment.
PROD shows price as 0.3149 not 31.49

Thank you
