PIPS or POINTS?

New comment
 

I am new to MQL5 programming, I made below code:

MqlTick Latest_Price;
SymbolInfoTick(Symbol(), Latest_Price);
int gap = (Latest_Price.ask - Latest_Price.bid)/Point();

My question: the result I got in gap variable... is it in PIP or POINTS?

 

You divided by point so it is in points.

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.
