code 100.0 pips

I need to plus 100pips to "openDay"

string lvl_plus100pip = DoubleToStr( dayOpenPrice * 0.01 );

Above code for EURUSD but when I use that code for USDJPY it does not work until when I change it like below. 

DoubleToStr( dayOpenPrice * 1.0 );

1. There is Tick, PIP, and Point. They are all different in general. A tick is the smallest change of price. A Point is the least significant digit quoted. In currencies a pip is defined as 0.0001 (or for JPY 0.01)

   On a 4 digit broker a point (0.0001) = pip (0.0001). [JPY 0.01 == 0.01] On a 5 digit broker a point (0.00001) = 1/10 pip (0.00010/10). Just because you quote an extra digit doesn't change the value of a pip. (0.0001 == 0.00010) EA's must adjust pips to points (for mq4.) In currencies a tick is a point. Price can change by least significant digit (1.23456 -> 1.23457)

   In metals a Tick is still the smallest change but is larger than a point. If price can change from 123.25 to 123.50, you have a TickSize of 0.25 and a point of 0.01. Pip has no meaning.

   This is why you don't use TickValue by itself. Only as a ratio with TickSize. See DeltaValuePerLot()

2. #define  CHANGE         double      ///< Difference of two prices.
   #define  POINT          int         ///< `CHANGE / _Point`.
   #define  PIP            double      ///< `POINT / PipsPerPOINT`.
   CHANGE   points_to_change(POINT n){          return n * _Point;                }
   POINT    change_to_points(CHANGE c){         return POINT(c / _Point + 0.5);   }
   CHANGE   pips_to_change(PIP n){     return points_to_change(pips_to_points(n));}
   PIP      change_to_pips(CHANGE c){  return points_to_pips(change_to_points(c));}
   POINT    pips_to_points(PIP n){              if( (_Digits&1) == 1)   n *= 10.0;
                                                return POINT(n);                  }
   PIP      points_to_pips(POINT n){PIP p = n;  if( (_Digits&1) == 1)   p /= 10.0;
                                                return p;                         }
   // Digits            DE30  EURNOK   USDJPY   EURUSD   USDMXN   USDZAR
   // Digits            1     5        3        5        4        5
   // point             0.1   0.00001  0.001    0.00001  0.00001  0.00001
   // ticksize          0.5   "        "        "        "        "
   // Pip/lot(USD)            1.19     8.23     10.00    0.60     0.73
   // Spread                  214.8    1.9      2.3      351.4    181.7
   // Spread/lot(USD)         256.31   15.64    23.00    211.97   133.33
   

3. 100.0 pips?

   double SL = OrderOpenPrice() - pips_to_change( 100 );

Thanks for your reply @WHRoeder

I will try it soon.

Hello,

Thanks for your time @WHRoeder. 

Really I spend a time for I understand that what you wrote above. For getting 100 pips code for every currencies pair, but I think I cannot write codes for what I want. Also I think that is not for beginner level as I know.

Also if there is possible easy / quick way for I can get 100pips code. If have a time write it how can I do that, please.

Anyway thanks.

Max 

Thanks for your replies.

I think will try for that.

1. As previously posted "In currencies a pip is defined as 0.0001 (or for JPY 0.01) ... In metals .. Pip has no meaning."

2. if( ( _Digits & 1 ) == 10 

   Any integer (e.g. Digits) & 1 will always be either zero or one. Your if will never be true.
