Default Is there a NS equivalent to BigPointValue in EL?

I'm trying to convert some EasyLanguage code and I'm wondering if anyone knows an equivalent in NinjaScript for BigPointValue in Easy Language?

Thanks,

Quote:
BigPointValue (Reserved Word)

Returns a numeric expression representing the market value of a whole
number price move for the share or contract price of a particular symbol. The
BigPointValue value is represented by a whole number. For example; the
BigPointValue of the E-Mini S&P is 50, which represents the dollar value of a
full one point move in the E-Mini S&P. Any stock would have a
BigPointValue of 1 since a full point move in a share price represents a
change in market value of 1.
BigPointValue
Examples
BigPointValue returns the market value of a full point move in the price of a share or contract.
MinMove / PriceScale * BigPointValue returns the market value of the minimum price move for a share
or contract..

Hi Elliott Wave,

you can use Instrument.MasterInstrument.PointValue to return the currency value of one full point of movement.

Please also see this link from our helpguide - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...ointValue.html

Have a great evening!
