Strange value of calculated lot

New comment
 

Hello there,

I have the following formula:

int tp=50;
double lot = (8 /tp)/(SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(), SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE)); 
// fyi SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(), SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE) =1

When I print the value of lot is always 0.


I don't understand why...


Thanks,

Thanks,

Put a decimal point after the 8.
double lot = (8. /tp)/(SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(), SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE));

By the way, you probably want to take into account the tick size when doing LOT calculations.
