Five decimals issue
Have been using IBFX, which used four decimals for quotes. Now moved to fxpro which uses five decimals...
Testing few things to see how my EAs work under fxpro 5 decimal quotes...
Ran a test code...
Print(Ask-Bid);
Print(Point);
Print(Digits);
Print(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_POINT));
getting the following results...
0.0003
0
5
0
Ask-Bid is always coming up with four decimals...
Point is 0....
Why?
This question gets asked about twice a week, the search feature is our friend. :)

Use this construction:
Print(DoubleToStr(Ask-Bid,5));

I've had this issue too with FXpro and what I was told that any output is any numeric output is always done to 4 decimal places, even though there's a longer decimal place numeric figure stored in memory. One way to check this out is to convert the value to a string and then output the string value. This should give you the 5 decimal places given by fxpro.
Thanks everybody...DoubleToStr works...
