Code on 4 decimal price vs 5 decimal price

[[Deleted]]

My code works on a 5 decimal price broker, but not on a 4 decimal price broker... what should i be doing different in my code?

Thanks!

Factor the variables "Point" and "Digits" into your calculations.

Does "NormalizeDouble" have anything to possibly do with this? pretty new with mql and trying to wrap my head around it all

Yes it does, see this as an example

int OpenAtMarketWithLiteralStops (string strPair, int iOrderType, double dLots, double dSL, double dTP, string strOrderComment, int iMagicNumber, datetime dtExpiry, color cColour)
{
int iMaxNumRetries, iNumRetries;
double adPrice, adSL, adTP;

    // is server or context busy - try n times to submit the order
    iNumRetries=OrderRetries;
    
     if(iOrderType > OP_SELL)
      {
        Print("OpenAtMarket Error: OrderType is a Pending Order!");
        return(0);
      }
     
    while(iNumRetries>0)
    {
        RefreshRates();
        if(iOrderType==OP_BUY) 
          {
           adPrice=NormalizeDouble(Ask, Digits);
           adSL=NormalizeDouble(dSL, Digits);
           adTP=NormalizeDouble(dTP, Digits);
          }
          
        if(iOrderType==OP_SELL) 
           {
            adPrice=NormalizeDouble(Bid, Digits);
            adSL=NormalizeDouble(dSL, Digits);
            adTP=NormalizeDouble(dTP, Digits);           
           }
    
        int iTicket =  OrderSend(strPair, iOrderType, dLots, adPrice, Real.Slippage, adSL, adTP, strOrderComment, iMagicNumber, dtExpiry, cColour);

        iNumRetries--;

        if(iTicket == -1 )
        {
            int iError = GetLastError();

            // retry if error is "busy", otherwise give up
            if(iError==ERR_SERVER_BUSY || iError==ERR_TRADE_CONTEXT_BUSY || iError==ERR_BROKER_BUSY || iError==ERR_NO_CONNECTION 
            || iError==ERR_TRADE_TIMEOUT || iError==ERR_INVALID_PRICE || iError==ERR_OFF_QUOTES || iError==ERR_PRICE_CHANGED || iError==ERR_REQUOTE)
                Sleep(SleepBetweenTrades);
            else
            {
                iNumRetries = 0;
                Print("OpenAtMarket: OrderSend Error ", iError );
            }
        }
        else
            iNumRetries = 0;
    }

    return(iTicket);
}

Good Luck
