OrderSend / takeProfit question

New comment
 

Is there any way to takeprofit in pips?

My base currency is GBP and im trading EURUSD.

If I set my takeprofit as 25, it will close the order at 25GBP profit when i really want 25pip profit.

ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,1,Ask,3,Ask-25*Point,Ask+25*Point,"My order #2",16384,0,Green);

Thanks for any help.

 
If you are on a 5 Digit Broker 1 pip = 10 points . . . 4/5 Digits
 
Try this 
extern double TP=25;
extern double SL=25;
extern bool   Four_digit_broker=false;

if(Four_digit_broker==false){double StopMultd=10;}else{StopMultd=1;}
double nsl=SL*StopMultd;
double ntp=TP*StopMultd;


ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,1,Ask,3,Ask-nsl*Point,Ask+ntp*Point,"My order #2",16384,0,Green);

Try this

Don't use an external, you forget to change when you change brokers or the broker changes digits, there goes your money.

EA's must adjust for 4/5 digit brokers, TP, SL, AND slippage 

//++++ These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers.
int     pips2points;    // slippage  3 pips    3=points    30=points
double  pips2dbl;       // Stoploss 15 pips    0.015      0.0150
int     Digits.pips;    // DoubleToStr(dbl/pips2dbl, Digits.pips)
int     init(){                                             OptInitialization();
     if (Digits % 2 == 1){      // DE30=1/JPY=3/EURUSD=5 https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/135345
                pips2dbl    = Point*10; pips2points = 10;   Digits.pips = 1;
    } else {    pips2dbl    = Point;    pips2points =  1;   Digits.pips = 0; }
    // OrderSend(... Slippage.Pips * pips2points, Bid - StopLossPips * pips2dbl
//---- These are adjusted for 5 digit brokers.
    /* On ECN brokers you must open first and THEN set stops
    int ticket = OrderSend(..., 0,0,...)
    if (ticket < 0)
       Alert("OrderSend failed: ", GetLastError());
    else if (!OrderSelect(ticket, SELECT_BY_TICKET))
       Alert("OrderSelect failed: ", GetLastError());
    else if (!OrderModify(OrderTicket(), OrderOpenPrice(), SL, TP, 0)
       Alert("OrderModify failed: ", GetLastError());
