How to remove the extra digits of the fetched prices from MqlRates?

New comment
 

Hi guys,

I'm using this code to fetch the close price of the previous candle

MqlRates mrate[];
double Close_Price;

Close_Price=mrate[1].close;

Sometimes I get the correct price (1.12086) and other times I get a wrong price (1.1208600000000001)

How can I remove all of these extra digits?

Wrong, they are both the same exact price.

Floating-point has infinite number of decimals, it's your not understanding floating-point and that some numbers can't be represented exactly. (like 1/10.)

Print out your values to the precision you want with DoubleToString - Conversion Functions - MQL4 Reference.
