If I put a parameter for example, in Bounce promity pips I put 10.0 .Will the EA read it as 10 pips or just 10 points?

Please attach the code you are asking for clarification about.

This one. will the chart read my SR zone pips as 15 points or 15 pips and my bounce proximity as 10 pips or 10 points?

I wrote it but I am confused if my EA will read it as points or pips

I doubt you wrote that code. If you did, you would know the answer to your question.

Impossible to answer. We need the code that uses those variables.

I double you wrote it, or you would know if you converted PIPs to points.

PIP, Point, or Tick size 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 (if any still exists), exotics (e.g. USDZAR where spread is over 500 points), and metals. Compute what a logical PIP is and use that, not points.

I also examined a built in sample from MT5, the sample has a continuation of (In pips) but I doubt if it was read as pips.

I wrote it. I am just confused if I will put for example 50 pips in gold or 5000 points and will just make a comment extension to that line. gold in exness has 3 digits. I manually adjust the perimeters in different chart also

You probably used a tool to write it.

To answer the question, you need to check where this parameter is used. Without seeing this code it's impossible to answer.

It sounds like you're trading the XAUUSD CFD pair. Assuming that the tick size is 0.001 and want to use 0.01 as a pip, you need something like this for accurate pricing format:

double BPPinPoints = NormalizeDouble(Bounce_Proximity_Pips * 10 * _Point, _Digits);

If you're not trading XAUUSD, the calculation may get more complex.

Simply declaring the input name does nothing but create the input (and then you define its initial raw value).
