2.5.2Market categories (categoryId of FXB.Instrument)

MyTrader does its own categorisation of markets (again looking to standardise across different platforms). Every FXB.Instrument is assigned a numeric categoryId from the following FXB.InstrumentCategories list. For example, the euro-dollar FX pair (EUR/USD) will have categoryId=FXB.InstrumentCategories.FX_MAJOR.

Note: the categoryId is a numeric value, not text. To turn the categoryId into the equivalent text, use Framework.Translation.TranslateInstrumentCategory(categoryId).

FXB.InstrumentCategories.	Description
FX_MAJOR	FX majors: USD crosses with major currencies. EUR/USD, USD/JPY etc
FX_MINOR	FX minors: non-USD crosses between major currencies. EUR/GBP etc.
