How to find pips between to candle stick values

New comment
 

I would like to know how I can find the number of pips between two values. For example, as shown below, if the difference between to values is greater than 20 pips:



if (iClose(_Symbol,0, 1) - iOpen( _Symbol,0, 3) > 20)    {

                     }

get the difference divided by _Point and round up/down if you want integer result or use double for more precision and normalize the double to match the symbol digits

PIP, Point, or Tick are all different in general.

Unless you manually adjust your SL/TP for each separate symbol, using Point means code breaks on 4 digit brokers, exotics (e.g. USDZAR where spread is over 500 points,) and metals. Compute what a PIP is and use it, not points.
