It has the code that make the EA works with 4 and 5 digits broker.
Use this function:
double GetPoint(string symbol = "")
{ if(symbol=="" || symbol == Symbol()) { if(Point==0.00001) return(0.0001); else if(Point==0.001) return(0.01); else return(Point); } else { RefreshRates(); double tPoint = MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_POINT); if(tPoint==0.00001) return(0.0001); else if(tPoint==0.001) return(0.01); else return(tPoint); }

Mt4 EA code for 5 digit Brokers
Hi All

I'm a programmer and this is a very common problem, I'm wondering why not every EA is designed for both type of platforms. Anyway, depending on how things coded, sometimes it's usable even without any changes, simply multiply all pip number by 10. Say your take profit is 50 pips, instead of using 50, just use 500.
Or I can add a few lines in your code for you, so you don't have to do the above conversion. Let me know if you want.

4/5 digits
The best practice is making your EA working with 4/5 digits without bothering the user and this is very easy.
1- Use a global varaible call it mPoint.
2- In the initfunction use this code:
if(Digits==4 || Digits==5) mPoint = 0.0001;[/php]3- Replace any piece of code that uses Point with mPoint. For example:
[php]int spread = MathCeil((Ask-Bid)/mPoint); //mPoint instead of PointI'm a programmer and this is a very common problem, I'm wondering why not every EA is designed for both type of platforms.

ChristinaHi Guys
I have tried all the suggestions and still cant get the EA to work on a 5 digit broker...It works fine on 4 digit brokers
The alert window works but it wont open any trades.
I am obviosly getting something wrong...Could any coders out there have a look and add the correct code to get it going on a 5 digit broker?
Any help appreciated!

Hi All
No, it seems not to open any trades on a 5 digit broker ( I tried on two different ones)...One thing I noticed is that the comments now repeat over and over...Not sure if this would have anything to do with it....I just turned them off to make the issue go away.
Thanks for adding the slippage as well!!!
Your help is greatly appreciated!!!!
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the order to open in a 5 digit broker?...it works great on a 4 digit broker...(I have double checked all of the EA settings in Metatrader to make sure they are active)
