Hi Subgenius,

Declare 'em as double

 double S=0.0, B=0.0;

Is type casting thing (https://docs.mql4.com/basis/types/casting). Integer takes 4 bytes, while double takes 8 bytes.

:D

  
Percent = ((S/9)*100

int/int = int. 2/9=0 not .2222.

RTFM Type casting - MQL4 Documentation

Use this and you would have found Operations and Expressions - Basics of MQL4 - MQL4 Tutorial and Why does 4/6 = 0 - MQL4 forum

  1. Either change B,S to double or
  2. Use (S/9.0) or
  3. use Double(S)/9*100 
    int     Int(int a){       return(a); }
double  Double(double a){ return(a); }
