Where is "Point"?

[[Deleted]]

I tried to run the Programs in the 2 articles "Betting Modeling as Means of Developing Market Intuition" and "Comfortable Scalping"

from this site.

In both programs i found they don't work.

I used an Alert to find out what was going on.

Alert ("Ask= ", Ask);

Alert ("Point= ", Point);

For Ask i got a normal number. But for Point i allways got Point= 0 !!

Can anybody tell me why?

maybe Point is less than 0.0001 ? say 0.00001 ?

and default is to print with 4 dp

so maybe use something like DoubleToStr(Point, Digits) ?

don't understand what you want to tell me.

"Point" is a predefined variable and it's a double.

Look at "MQL4 Reference"

double Point The current symbol point value in the quote currency.

HE's trying to tell you that, yes point is a double, but so small double that when used in defualt text formatting like in your example above, it's rounded down to 0.

Use DoubleToStr(Point,Digits); for customized formatting and magic will happen.
