return NormalizeDouble(basePrice + (double)steps * stepPips * multiplier, (int)MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_DIGITS));

But for the current symbol you don't need MarketInfo:

return NormalizeDouble(basePrice + (double)steps * stepPips * multiplier, Digits());

The function MarketInfo() returns a "double" data-type, but the 2nd parameter of NormaliseDouble() expects an "int" data-type.

Since it is an implicit typecasting, it warns you of the situation, so use an explicit type-casting to resolve the issue:

return NormalizeDouble( basePrice + (double) steps * stepPips * multiplier, (int) MarketInfo( Symbol(), MODE_DIGITS ) );

Thanks Boyko, your suggestion worked, next time will let you code for me

 
Be aware that normalizing prices to Digits can lead to invalid prices. The right way is to normalize to tick size.

Same for lots, you don't need to normalize to 2 decimal digits, but to lot step.
