My stops and takeprofits are off? EA OrderSend Help

New comment
 

Hi everyone, been using this forum a lot in the last months, just registered to have a little question taken out that i havent been able to solve or find solution online.

this is an EA i have been playing for 2 days to detect doji candles (its a code in progress) but im having a problem with the ordersend.

everytime it sends an Ordersend with OP_SELLLIMIT the takeprofit and stoploss its off by 10 pips.

my stops are 40 pips not 50, and my takeprofit is 110 pips not 100.

anyone knows why? i have already looked into....tought maybe the spread...but the spread is about 2 pips....cant figure it out.

Thank you.

OP_SELLLIMIT,0.1,Ask+(100*Point)

You Buy@Ask and Sell@Bid. One way to remember Buy-A...Sell-B. Or A_B. In your code, You're Selling@Ask. Also search Google for 4-5 Digit Broker Code to help you understand Pips vs Points.

 

thank you.

do you have a link to a nice documentation about this? i normally go trough the mql4 documentation but its too shallow most of times....i dont even understand the whole points stuff....i get that if broker is 4 digit its the 1 point per pip for 5 digit its 10 point per pip.


thanks for your time and sending the google search about the 4-5 digit broker, found a script from kolier.

reading it now.

 
Here. Maybe this will help.
