Hello everyone, am building an EA to display the pips in a candle stick as a comment. But am confuse on how to go bout it.

I used ((High[1]-Low[1])/_Point) but when displayed am seeing a different value. 

When i use((High[1]-Low[1])*_Point) i get a totally different value too. 

so please guys what do you think should 
be the correct formula.

What do you see, what do you expect to see. How are you displaying it?

That will display the size of the previous candle in points. A PIP ( What is a TICK? - MQL4 forum) is not a point. adjusting SL, TP, and slippage; for 4/5 digit brokers and for JPY pairs.
 

Thanks guy for helping out but i found a better way yo do it : ((High[1]-Low[1])/_Point)/10

Which fails on a 4 digit broker, exotics and metals. Read the links provided.
