four versus five digit brokers

New comment
 

Hi everyone,

long time ago I did not care much about the "slippage" limit in ordersend/orderclse, during the conversion of EAs from four to five digit brokers. My question is whether these orders are equivalente, either a 2 point spread in four digit or 20 point in five digit broker:


Four digit eurusd:

-OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,1.0,Ask,2,_normalize(Ask-stop),_normalize(Ask+profit),"",0,0,0);

-OrderClose(OrderTicket(),1.0,Ask,2,White)


Five digit eurusd:

-OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,1.0,Ask,20,_normalize(Ask-stop),_normalize(Ask+profit),"",0,0,0);

-OrderClose(OrderTicket(),1.0,Ask,20,White)


Should I assume this is Ok?


Thank you.

am.

 
Assuming your stop and profit values have been adjusted for 4/5 digit Brokers then yes, they are equivalent.
 

Yes only slippage, as stop and profit are ok.

Thank you RaptorUK.
