Slippage adjustment for 5digit brokers.

New comment
 
When passing values for slippage into OrderClose do adjustments need to be made for brokers with different digits? So for a four digit broker I would pass '3' for example, but for a five digits this would be '30'?

Thats correct

void HandleDigits()
{
    // Automatically handles full-pip and sub-pip accounts
    if (Digits == 4 || Digits == 2) 
     {
       
       Real.Slippage = Slippage;

     }
  
   if (Digits == 5 || Digits == 3) 
     {
       
       Real.Slippage = Slippage*10;

     }

}


Use Real.Slippage in your OrderSend
Good Luck

Of course if your EA is multi-currency, you would use MarketInfo to get the digits of the pair of interest if its not the chart pair
Just because the broker is 'sub-pip' does not guarantee all pairs are quoted in sub-pips...
In particular, where a broker has changed their minimum MODE_LOTSTEP, you may have a mixture of full & sub-pip pairs...
FWIW
