Is it possible to run EA on every pip instead of every tick?

[saurabhB]

Hi guys, 

We usually use ontick() function to make EA run on every tick. Or we use ontimer() to make EA run on x amount of time. 

Can we use something to make EA run on movement of 1 pip (or lets say x amount of pips)? 

Regards, 

Saurabh

Of course if you code it to do that.

Thanks for confirming Marco.

Honestly, I am not a coder. I am a finance guy but trying to learn mql5 language.......mostly through online tutorials and with help of this amazing forum. 

I googled a lot but couldn't find any script or tutorial which can run EA on every pip basis. I would be extremely grateful if you could explain logic about how to code it. Thanks 🙏

Of course, you didn't find it. You already know you only run on tick or on timer. You have to code a filter in on tick for your distance.

MT4: Learn to code it.
MT5: Begin learning to code it.

If you don't learn MQL4/5, there is no common language for us to communicate. If we tell you what you need, you can't code it. If we give you the code, you don't know how to integrate it into your code.

or pay (Freelance) someone to code it. Top of every page is the link Freelance.
