Stop Nasdaq in MT4

[hansblancke]

Hello,

 

I hope somebody can help me.

 

Because the Nasdaq moves in $ 0.25 increments, I look for my expert a way to round a number like 5812.66 to 5812.50 or 5812.45 to 5812.25 etc

 

 Who can give me an exemple how to do this?

Thanks!

double val       = 5812.66;
double increment = 0.25;
double result    = MathRound(val/increment)*increment;

If you want to round down, you would use MathFloor()

If you want to round up, you would use MathCeil()

Do NOT use NormalizeDouble, EVER. For ANY Reason. It's a kludge, don't use it. It's use is always wrong

• SL/TP (stops) need to be normalized to tick size (not Point.) (On 5Digit Broker Stops are only allowed to be placed on full pip values. How to find out in mql? - MQL4 forum) and abide by the limits Requirements and Limitations in Making Trades - Appendixes - MQL4 Tutorial and that requires understanding floating point equality Can price != price ? - MQL4 forum
• Open price for pending orders need to be adjusted. On Currencies, Point == TickSize, so you will get the same answer, but it won't work on Metals. So do it right: Trailing Bar Entry EA - MQL4 forum or Bid/Ask: (No Need) to use NormalizeDouble in OrderSend - MQL4 forum
• Lot size must also be adjusted to a multiple of LotStep and check against min and max. If that is not a power of 1/10 then NormalizeDouble is wrong. Do it right.
