Digits Before Decimal Point Not Showing Spread Properly...
Make a special if for gold,
if (Symbol() == "Gold") do special stuff for gold;
- On IBFX the Gold symbol is XAUUSD
if (Symbol() == "Gold") do special stuff for gold;
If you code correctly you shouldn't need any special stuff - On the Navigator right click -> Online library -> All Market Data -> right click -> Download. Nav -> scripts -> all market -> execute It creates a html in experts/files about all the available pairs. Gold has Digits==2 and the spread when I ran it was 58. That is 58 points or $0.58. I have no idea where you get supposed to show as 6.5!
if(Digits==3) {SP1=Digits-2;} else {SP1=Digits-4;}
I'm not sure what your trying to do here, but my code would read://++++ These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers. int pips2points; // slippage 3 pips 3=points 30=points double pips2dbl; // Stoploss 15 pips 0.0015 0.00150 int Digits.pips; // DoubleToStr(dbl/pips2dbl, Digits.pips) int init(){ if (Digits == 5 || Digits == 3){ // Adjust for five (5) digit brokers. pips2dbl = Point*10; pips2points = 10; Digits.pips = 1; } else { pips2dbl = Point; pips2points = 1; Digits.pips = 0; } // OrderSend(... Slippage.Pips * pips2points, Bid - StopLossPips * pips2dbl } string DeltaToPips(double d){ if (d > 0) string sign = "+"; else sign = ""; double pips = d / pips2dbl; string dPip = sign + DoubleToStr(pips, 0); if(Digits.pips==0) return(dPip); string dFrc = sign + DoubleToStr(pips, Digits.pips); if (dPip+".0" == dFrc) return(dPip); return(dFrc); } string PriceToStr(double p){ string pFrc = DoubleToStr(p, Digits); if(Digits.pips==0) return(pFrc); string pPip = DoubleToStr(p, Digits-1); if (pPip+"0" == pFrc) return(pPip); return(pFrc); } int start(){ comment(Symbol(), " spread=", DeltaToPips(Ask-Bid), " pips or $", PriceToStr(Ask-Bid) ); }

Hi,
I'm trying to make a spread indicator for Gold show appropriately but I have not been successful. The Gold price shows as for example 1545.50 (on IBFX) and the spread shows as 65. But its supposed to show as 6.5!
With the above code it shows the spread properly for all other pairs except for Gold (on IBFX), can someone please help me solve this issue?
I also tried variations of the codes below but those did not work either:
